Hi David,
Thanks for your feedback and your wonderful offer!! Very exciting. I will add
more info to the Listen page and see if I can make it more accessible. I'll
email you about the other stuff later today if that is ok (it's Saturday
morning and I have a few errands to run).
I'd like to know more about the NCIL (which I had to google to find out what it
is!)
Cheers,
Kim

If they are using JAWS there is a scriptset. I've heard NVDA and Window Eyes
work well with Audacity because of the built in keymapping so that it is easy
to run from a keyboard. If your students are using Apple machines, I've heard
Voiceover works with Audacity as well. I haven't heard if it is accessible
with Linux.
I went to your website. Super cool, by the way. I'm on the board of a local
chapter of the NCIL. We serve western Washington State. We had a town hall
meeting with many different types of disabilities represented. It's really
nice to see what other people around the world are doing to help their local
communities citizens. Equality rocks.
I was trying to play the LISTEN: Pilot - what is the ARP all about? posting,
but JAWS tells me "a plug ig is needed". It didn't give me an option to
download the plugin. Do you know what plugin it is that I need in order to
hear the content? If you want to use a plugin that is accessible to multiple
disabilities, there is a plugin called OSPlayer that allows simultaneous
playing of audio, video, and text. I think they allow the use of it for
non-profits for free, or there is a cost if your business is for profit.
I would be willing and able to make some audio training lessons for those
using Audacity with JAWS, if you'd like to collaborate. Write me off list at:

Hi David,
Thanks! Good place to start with the screen reader!
I'm in Brisbane, Australia. We have a website where I am putting up
resources, but I'm not sure how useful they would be for you. But check it
out: http://abilityradioproject.wordpress.com I would be happy to hear your
feedback, as the course is experimental at this stage and we are developing the
resources as we go, adapting to what the participants tell us works.
Cheers,
Kim

Do your visually impaired students use different screen readers? That
might be a first thing to ask. If they are comfortable with their screen
reader they will have an easier time.
How does one find out about the class you are teaching? I'm looking for
courses in audio production right now.
Best,
David

Hello all,
I'm teaching radio production to a small group of people, some with vision
impairments.
As users of Audacity,what would you recommend is a basic "need to learn"
when starting out with the program?
Thanks everyone,
List lurker, first time poster, Kim
