Hi Tristram,
 

Not good news perhaps but, in this case, it's probably a case of "forewarned
is forearmed".

 

Thanks for your views on it anyway.

 

Regards,

 

Jamie

From my experience with Pro Tools 9.0 and VoiceOver the level of access is
still quite limited.  Avid had a programmer in for a few to put in some
basic infrastructure in response to petition and public criticism o the
level of access to the software.  This work was done specifically on the Mac
side and not the PC/Windows side.  The result however is that it is nowhere
near enough to really use the software with VoiceOver.

I have not heard any JAWS users having success with the Windows version of
Pro Tools, I certainly don't know of any script sets available for it either
and let us remember from above no specific accessibility work has gone on
with the Windows release that I know of.  I cannot speak for Window-Eyes but
I would be surprised if the position is very much different.

Sorry for the bleak news.

Regards.

Hi all,

I have a client who is wanting to get opinions from Jaws users and others
about the use of audio editing software called ProTools.  He has been told
different things from different people.

Essentially he wants to know if Jaws on a Windows platform with ProTools
will work better or worse than ProTools on a Mac platform working with
VoiceOver?

Anyone got an opinion one way or other??

Also, as this is probably more appropriate for an audio list, does anyone
know of such a list for screen reader users and how to sign up to it?

Jamie
