Alternative Broadcasting Software to Station Playlist

2014-11-02 Thread Dane Trethowan

Hep, subject line says everything and this may be round the corner.

I wanted to forward the original eMail on this subject to the list 
however the author of same - as it stands - hasn't given me permission 
to do so as yet and I respect that.


It is hoped that the product will be available with full accessibility 
soon, the developers are actually using JAWS to test their product to 
see just how accessible they can make it.


The other good news will be the price, instead of $499 that you pay for 
the full Station Playlist suite you'll only need to pay $199 for the 
laternative.


Those who are helping the programmers are professional DJ'S and 
Broadcasters in their own right having worked in the field for longer 
than 10 years so they know their stuff.


I hope to be able to bring the list good tidings in the next couple of 
weeks though someone else may beat me to it by forwarding a press 
release smile.

I look forward to this. 
I'd also like to see Sam Broadcaster made accessible.

I'm not a programmer myself so can't comment but - last I heard - SAM 
Broadcaster couldn't be made accessible due to the programming language 
it was written in.


I did myself use SAM Broadcaster for quite a hwile - even at that time - 
it did require some skill at mouse manipulation but Window-Eyes at least 
did have most of the tools for that.

I really look forward to seeing what they come up with. With SPL and scripting, 
blind users have a tonne of features which go way over and above what SPL can 
do out of the box, so there are going to have to be many many compelling 
benefits in order to switch.

Hi,
SAM Encoders: major screen readers have scripts for it (I'm responsible for one 
of them). As for it becoming accessible, I don't think so.
As for the new kid on the block, I sent a message to developers to see if NVDA 
users and devs can assist them with compatibility and testing. Based on some 
testing, it appears both SPL and the new kid is written in Delphi and uses 
slightly more accessible GUI framework (TDK to be exact), although certain 
fields doesn't have any labels at all (the new guy does need scripting in the 
end).
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Brian and all,
I'm testing the latest version of the new kid and it does require scripting to 
some extent. It is written in Delphi and uses TDK GUI framework. At this point, 
there's no indication as to whether the mic is on or off, some fields are not 
labeled, important functions don't have hotkeys and so on.
