Hi All,
I am interested in hearing more about upgrading to Sib. 7.5 and using
Narator. Gor, please keep us posted. I think we are all ready to
upgrade once you've done your handy work on the documentation.
Thank you for your continuing research.

Hi Gordon,
I’m really interested in upgrading to a newer version of Sibelius, currently
I’m still running the sib 5 scripts and windows 7.
Is there any documentation already available on Sibelius with Windows
Narrator? And what would be a suitable system configuration (I think there
are different versions of windows 10) that would work best in this context?
Thank you so much for your help!
Happy holidays to all on the list!
Cheers
Thomas

At this time, it is not accessible on the Mac. I don't think we will be
seeing that for a while. Yes it is working with the latest Windows 10 and
Narrator. Narrator is by far the best screen reader to use with Sibelius.
It works somewhat with NVDA, and not at all with JAWS. It is more
difficult
to work with NVDA because it relies on python scripts to really work with
most third party apps.

QT is a software development framework that allows a developer to write
one
set of code and then build it on multiple platforms (e.g. Windows, Mac,
IOS,
etc.). This makes it much easier to develop your application for
multiple
operating systems. Unfortunately, QT has a partial accessibility layer
under
Windows (at best) and almost no such accessibility layer on the Mac.
Best wishes.

Let me know if this works. For some reason Windows live mail flakes out
sometimes. I really should switch over to outlook.
Hello:
I never realy used sib 5 with the jaws scripts. I've been testing and
using
Sibelius since 7.5. This newest release works best with Narrator, and
is
much better than the earlier versions. However, we need to finish the
accessibility specific documentation to make it practical for new users
to
get things going. With qt5, there is no longer any dependency on the
gui.
Yes, there are still some elements that are not accessible, such as the
mixer, but when used along with the special keyboard shortcuts, and some
handy plugins, it is very possible for a blind user to confidently
create
professional scores and parts that look as good as anything out there.
We'll let you know when the documentation is available.
