Hey Neville.
The V5.1.1.003 build is still accessible with script, so I still think we can
carry on using this version. Maybe we will get some positive news regarding the
latest update and moving forward, but who knows? It might just be the case that
specific versions need to be used, just like other programs. What worries me is
that it’s becoming more and more common that stuff is just taken away from us
in a simple update.
Best steve.

Hey Steve,
No worries. Thanks so much for all you do. Perhaps auto tune would be a better
option? Doesn’t Ozone have a pitch correction plugin as well?
Even though I am very disappointed with this news, I am going to choose
optimism that this issue will be resolved.
May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind
in Christ Jesus.

Hi.
I'm passing on the information I have regarding Melodyne's latest update. My
initial thoughts were correct and Celemony have moved to a different graphics
library, hence why Jaws can no longer see any text on screen at all. I'm not
sure if this also has an impact on other solutions for Melodyne, but it's quite
clear that we're at the end of the road with this product, unless Jaws
developers can address it, or the graphics library in question can be worked on
with accessibility in mind.
Celemony tell me that the V5.1.1.003 version will be available to anyone who
requests it from them, but it won't be available via their website. This is the
last build that text can be seen on screen. The latest build (V5.2.0.006)
breaks the ability to read text and they have no plans to rectify this, as they
are now sticking with this new library, which is called Skia.
They did say they would be willing to update the version of Skia they use, if
any work with accessibility is done, as it's open source, so is available to
people to work with. Apparently, Skia is backed by Google, so I would have
thought that accessibility should be part of it's mandate to deliver that
accessibility, but this sort of stuff is outside of my knowledge and I have no
contacts who know about this sort of thing available at the moment.
I will try to contact dev's at FS or whatever they're called now, but again, I
have no direct contacts there, so I would have thought it's going to be
difficult to raise this problem with the people who need to know. If anyone
thinks they have something to offer with making Skia support screen readers, or
if someone has a contact at FS I can write to, then please get in touch:
