Ah, after looking around, I found the meter values a line or two down from
the top of the Studio Recorder window. Again, if there were a way to tab or
use another standard navigation command such as control+tab or f6 to get to
this field, one could easily get the values and/or keep the Braille focus on
these values as they changed dynamically without having to rely on the
Studio Recorder hotkey. Maybe the hotkey could even move focus to the
intended dialog ("a" for peak meter, "s" for status line).
This would help with Braille and NVDA.
Just a thought. Maybe there are other simple solutions.

The one thing that I don't see when reading the status line are the levels
for left and right channel which I can hear by pressing the letter. "a." You
are correct that reading the status line gives all other information the
same as pressing the letter "s." I guess it's really those levels that are
most difficult to get at when using NVDA. Thanks.

Rob,
Two thoughts on this issue:
1. I don't know if such a command exists in NVDA, but at least with JAWS
there is a JAWSKey+PageDown command which reads the bottom line of the
active window. In the case of Studio Recorder, this seems to provide the
user with the same feedback as the "S" hotkey which is built into Studio
Recorder. If there is such a command in NVDA, that could be helpful to
some.
2. Another suggestion that might be incorporated into Studio Recorder for
dealing with this problem is to make that Status line in Studio Recorder a
read-only edit field to which a user could tab or perhaps navigate to by
some other means (like F6 or something) so that the focus of a screen reader
is put there. This has two advantages:
a. The user could then perform a "SayLine" function to read the
status
b. The information would be visible on a Braille display (which
currently it is not because this status line never has focus).
Anyway, just some quick and dirty ideas.

Hi, Rob:
Do NVDA's devebopers have Studio Recorder, so they can try to fix this
problem? If not, can you send them the program? Thanks.
