It is all good. Me and a few others are in talks with Apple about the
following:
ACTC testing and certifications for the blind
Training and certification programs for those of us who want to train
VO with accreditation
All of Apple's products
We don't have to camp out and protest, we started with e-mails to a
Apple address that we can't disclosed, followed it up with a certified
letter and last with a visit. This isn't rocket science and we will
soon see results. Does anyone think that Apple doesn't have people
listening in on our list post? We have made a powerful impression and
they listen. Anyone interested in a VO customer service number for
Apple? How about support at home or office for VO? Please don't think
I don't put my money where my mouth is. My blood is a musician for GOD
and I played the saxophone along side greats like Najee and Kenny G,
so I know music just not Pro Tools. I am all for advancement in a
peaceful non legal manor, but when the results don't equal or exceed
the effort then something isn't being done correctly.

Hey Rick, and the rest of the access army haha,
Had I been home when the pro tools thread started, I would have
posted about Logic straight off. Just replying to it now to
register my interest on the Logic front. I'm a Pro Tools boy at
heart of course, but at the end of the day the software is just a
means to an ends, and Logic is just as capable. I don't know
anywhere near enough to get the ball rolling much with a corporation
the size of Apple, but it strikes me that we must have a bit more
pulling power considering Logic is their product and Voiceover / Mac
OS is also their product. Add to that how much it gets my goat when
Apple's own products lack access from their own screen reader, and
you can see why I'd be happy to work under the wing of anyone who
takes on the task, be it testing - or in light of the direction the
thread is taking - camping outside Apple HQ on hunger strike haha.
Anyway, good idea, I hope there's someone with more knowledge of the
field than me who wants to take it on, and if so then this is from a
green but keen potential servant to the cause. Man, the ranting
talk is infectious!

Subject: Logic Audio: Let's get access
Hello all,
Sorry for the rant in the last message. The bickering and
complaining on that subject gets me going.
Anyway, why don't we demand accessibility from Apple on its own
applications? After all, Apple makes the OS and sets the
parameters for development. Why not generate huge amounts of
consumer demand for accessibility to Logic Audio and ITunes?
I'm in favor. Who wants to take the lead there?
I'm too busy with other irons in other fires to organize that one.
