Sorry to harp on this; but I know others who agree with me on
this. I think it needs to be more blind-friendly. When you talk
about the mjouse and changing colors, and things like that, you lose
blind people. In the manual, for instance, you talk about moving
marks with the mouse. HOw do you do the same thing with the
keyboard. In the manual, you talk about selecting with the mouse
very early on, but selection with the keyboard is pages away from
that. This is confusing. I also think it would be a good idea to
deal a bit with configring screen readers to make the best use of
Studio recorder. Yep, I'm persistent, but I tthink I havfe a valid
case here! (grin!)At 06:10 AM 6/21/2006, you wrote:

Our manual is what it is, a manual for the product. We don't favor any group specifically; we only document the product and its features. If anything, we feel like we offer much more accessibility than any other wave editor, and it is all documented.
As for moving marks with the keyboard, this is not possible directly. The easiest thing to do is simply clear the mark, move to the place where you want it, and set a new one. This may sound like we are skirting the issue, but if you think about, designing an interface to move marks with the keyboard would be more complacated than just clearing the mark and creating one somewhere else. Can you imagine being in "mark move mode"? Sounds dreadful!

For instance, moving marks and selection are discussed with the mouse, and one must dig to find keyboard equivalents. I still hyaven 't found the one for moving marks. Am I, what the British describe as daft or something?
I think you might also address how to make Studio Recorder as accessible as possible using screen readers. I realize the product was first and foremost meant for sighted monitors and narrators, but since we blind folks have discovered a real hit with this product, I feel the docs could be significantly more blind-friendly. Now remember, I'm a big SR booster, so don't take me wrong here--but yours docs are very sight-oriented.
Take care.
