Hi David!
Do you know if anything has changed since the last build I mentioned here on
the list regarding accessibility on Mac OS?
Everytime I test Audacity it replaces my configurations, so therefor I don't
get to testdrive it too often at the moment.
I know we are a few mac users on here, would it be great if we could produce
some specific issues we have when working with Voiceover and audacity on Mac
OS? Or how can we help developers out so accessibility can be better on Mac OS?
There are features in this version of Audacity I would love to use, but due to
accessibility issues I can't. The main issue for me now is that the track tabel
is not possible to use with Voiceover on Mac OS. The tracks can be seen, but
when arrowing up or down nothing is spoken. If it would work to use the
Voiceover commands (voiceover + up or down arrow) that would be ok for the
moment, since that would allow tracks to be spoken. As it is now, the track is
spoken, but the focus in Audacity doesn't follow the keyboard even when
Voiceover is set to move keyboard focus when navigating.
Best regards Thomas
