MessageOh, it's really easy to learn. It's not programming language at all.
Checkout some of the podcasts and read the manual. You won't regret the time
you invested. It's totally worth it.

I've thought about it. I'll have to learn how that's done. I've got enough
sight if I could learn the language of it.

Have you thought about using hsc? This is when the HSC kicks in. You can
have a sited person to put the mouse on each tab and make a hotspot with a
keyboard shortcut attached. Then later you can easily activate those tab
without using the mouse.

Okay, what are the JAWS built in mouse keystrokes.

Phil replied: I came across the same problem when creating .HSC support
in Session Drummmer2 and the Sonitus FX Multiband Compressor. The problem was
easily gotten around by using the Jaws built-in mouse keystrokes and if
necessary, moving 1 or 2 pixels at a time to locate the various buttons, rather
than using an up or down arrow key.

Omar,
Here is a problem. JAWS can read the patches. However, when up
arrowing with the JAWS cursor, the JAWS cursor skips from the top line of the
patch or matrix column to a point above the line where the various tabs are
chosen. So, there is no way for a blind person to change tabs from the matrix
assign page to the patch assign page, or from the patch assign page to the
performance or controller pages. this requires a hand guided mouse action so
far. I don't know why. I'll copy one of the people at Vienna on this and see
what if anything he says.
The Vienna folks have been very helpful.
Best,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Is jaws able to read the banks and patches for the voices?

Dear All,
A few of you have asked about the accessibility of Vienna
Instruments from time to time. Unfortunately, I'm not as accomplished a JAWS
user as many of you. Here is one of those cases where a little vision is a
dangerous thing. However, I'm here to report, if I haven't already done so,
that not only can JAWS read the lists in the right hand pane of the matrix
window, essential for selecting matrices which combine instrument
articulations, the user can then lock the mouse and drag a selected matrix to
the left pane and load it into a matrix slot. I never knew that you could lock
and drag before.
Unfortunately, JAWS has no way of telling you where you
are when you drag. Perhaps an HSC set might be devised by someone who has V I.
I haven't bothered to look at the other tabs in the
interface to say what can and can't be done with any of them. However, the
fact that the screen isn't entirely bitmapped and can be read by JAWS is a plus
in itself.
As always, combining this with track templates and a
little sighted assistance at the beginning will make one of the world's finest
virtual instruments more accessible than I had originally thought.
K.
