Hi David!
Oh, so sorry to hear that.
I may be able to compile Audacity from source, so if you can use my
observations or test results without having a mac at your fingertips please
contact me off-list. I will be happy to test anything. :)
Best regards Thomas

Hi Thomas,
unfortunately nothing has changed since you described the accessibility
problems on the Mac OS. I know it's unsatisfactory, but we just have to wait
till there is a developer with the time, inclination and a Mac computer to
look at this.
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

considerably later than anticipated, there are now versions of Audacity
2.1.3 available for testing. If no serious bugs are found, then these will
become the release versions. Those of you are interested are encouraged to
test them out.
Windows installer:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.1.3-rc1.exe
Windows zip:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.1.3-rc1.zip
Mac dmg, though this is almost certainly not very accessible:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-mac-2.1.3-rc1.dmg
Please note that in 2.1.3 the default shortcut for "Play/stop and set
cursor" has been changed from Shift+A to X.
A provisional version of my Jaws guide for this version is available at:
