Good evening Leland. Thanks so much for your reply. You may be muchcloser then you think and I encourage you to take those few days toreview the possibilities. This morning, I took wav files from a protools session and was able to drop them in to audacity quite easily. Iran across one large problem I am hoping you can solve before this isreleased. When I try to do anything such as panning a track orchanging the gain it works once and then if I try to move to the nexttrack with the down arrow I get a dialog that says "disallowed tryselecting some audio first" At this point there is nothing I can dowith the project because anything I do brings up that dialog. If youcan at least correct this by the release date you will have providedvoiceover users with an amazing audio editor. There is much thatdoesn't speak and many controls that say "unknown and again I hope youwill dive in to this. However, aside from that I can do many thingsvery easily. If I can be of any help testing specifically on the Macside please let me know. You've don an incredible job of providinggreat keyboard access to the features and as you I am sure havenoticed accessibility is a reality and voiceover is really movingalong nicely. Also, because of your great work and attention toaccessibility I will be offering an audio editing course at the agencywhere I teach. I will be using the windows version however, we havealso secured a donation of a Mac G4 and I look forward to the day whenI can teach the Mac version as well.So, Nudge,nudge,nudge please be sure to keep mac and voiceoveraccessibility in the fore front. I have no doubt that you will be ableto make this editor completely accessible. Take care.

My name is Leland and accessibility in Audacity is my main focus.(was that a pun? :-))
I started the accessibility push a couple of years ago when my wifeneeded a multi-track audio editor. It's taken the backseat a fewtimes as I strayed into other areas, but am back on track. (anotherpun? ;-))
If any of you have suggestions, please feel free to speak up. I'llsee how it can fit into Audacity.
While it may seem unfair, Audacity's main user base is sighted andunincumbered, so whatever we devise to add accessible behavior, wemust do so without affecting that user base. Well, I don't mindinconviencing them just a little, but it is a tricky balancing act.
So, speak up.  Let me know what's broken as far as accessibility goes.
