Yea I noticed that, that you were just using built-in shortcut sequences. This part should be easy to implement, to have messages spoken with each keyboard command. That'll be where I'd start.

I'm going off of the keyboard shortcuts for the program. I haven't finished yet. I still need to write the ones for each device. I stopped twoards the end of the sequencer shortcuts. ----- Original Message ----- From: D!J!X! <mailto:megamansuperior@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 10:24 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Reason Access One of the issues will be how to determine all these different items. What do you rely on to do it. Color? Does the program have a hidden window (like sonar) where these changes are reported? Is there some kind of access plat form like UI automation in place? These might be questions you might want to ask propellhead, it'll make life easier, than having to write custom code in jaws for it to try and figure out which window is open or not open. You could always look for uniuque class ID's on screen, or take window handles and go that way, but that is then assuming that those windows use static handles or ID's etc. Another important issue is to give some kind of access to these windows. For example, when you press down/up arrow, for jaws to report what track/instrument you are focused on etc. I'm sure there's more stuff that has to be looked into, but these are my first impressions from reading your text (which is a good start by the way!). I've played a little with the program, though I confess I was looking more at the sounds and what's new then at accessibility.. When I have more time I'll do some poking around with the script utility tool to see what I can find...

I started writing some ideas in notepad. They aren't done yet I don't know how to write scripts yet but I thought I would share this with everyone. Let me know what you think.
