Heads up, everyone interested in Audio Hijack!
Recently, I wrote to Rogue Amoeba Software, regarding the
accessibility of Audio Hijack. What I wrote about was two things:
1. The "Sessions Table" wasn't accessible. When you interracted
with it, and arrowed down through what was there, all you'd hear was
"Null".
2. The "Timer" pane has incrementers, for the hours, minutes, etc,
which are accessible, but you have *no* feedback, as to what you're
setting them to, where they are, to start with, etc.
They, to a limited point, were able to fix the problem with the
Sessions Table. The Timer incrementers, on the other hand, were a
much harder job.
Rather than attempt to fix this problem, (they cited being a small
company, having limited manpower/resources, and Apple's tendency
towards "Grand Architectures", and the complexity that introduces
into making apps accessible for folks with special needs), they
offered me an alternative - use Audio Hijack Pro, instead, as it's
lots more VO-friendly, than its amateur counterpart.
I've been using Ah Pro, for about a month, now, and it is quite
accessible! The only real issues I've noticed with it, are that: 1.
VO doesn't know what state the buttons are in ((i.e. Hijack, Record,
Mute, Pause, Split, and the buttons for the days of the week, in a
timer), 2. The Scroll Area, under the "Effects Tab", isn't
accessible, at all. 3. I'm not sure if there's a way to add stuff to
the "Recording Bin", or not? Otherwise the program is fully useable!
AH Pro is just $32, and if you already own the regular AH, you can
upgrade for $16. For the price, I'd certainly recommend going with
AH Pro! I think you'll have a much more rewarding, & enjoyable,
accessibility experience!
HTH?
