That's a real shame that no development is
happening with sonar and window-eyes.
The registry fix thing probably still works to
give basic access and then turning on the read
box in hilite in the general menu gives access to
the event view and you can coble together access
of a sort with setfiles, but we haven't done
anything significant since version 5.5.
This is a shame since with jaws, there are 2 very
solid accessibility packages which work
beautifully with sonar and many third party plug-ins.
caketalking from dancing dots, and the jsonar
project and jim the snowman's hotspot clicker
makes many third party plug-ins like dimension
pro dance and sing songs reliably.
I hope this doesn't offend anybody, I don't mean
to sound complaining, but I make my living with
this stuff, and I like our little company.
I have students that use window-eyes and I have
no choice but to make them have to use jaws if
they want to use the only daw software that's
really accessible that's of a real professional quality.
Anyway, let me be as possitive as I can.
I don't take anything away from the hard work
that's already been done with window-eyes.
I just want to raise my voice to represent the
frustrated musicians who might still be we users
out there who haven't totally abandoned ship yet
who might be hoping for a showing from
window-eyes for something for us because I think
we represent a few sales and the time might come
when I'll have to choose between one screen
reader or another, and I don't want to have to
make that choice because there are many things I love about window-eyes.
I want a basic tool for window-eyes like hotspot
clicker where I can make my own interface overlay
for a plug-in that doesn't talk, and share with
other users, and with the superior scripting with
window-eyes this surely is possible.
I too would pay money for sonar development I
don't have a 64 bit version of jaws, but I do own
a 64 bit version of window-eyes.
If I could do my next sonar upgrade with some
tools in hand to access my daw of choice with my
first love and screen reader of choice, life would be grand.
Ok, enough ranting, I've said my say, for what it's worth.
I've said it before, and before my sma's run out,
I'll probably say it again a couple more times,
but the thing I want to say the most is thank you
gwmicro for giving me tools to do my job and make money.
Blessings and best regards.

Hi Chad,
i haven't heared of any sonar scripts for WE.
However, the fact that you can't read your
synth's screen with the mouse keys may not
necessarily have to do with Window-Eyes.
Software synthesizers use their own graphic UI
and those elements either can't be
identified by a screenreade or are just graphic clips.
With some older VST synths you could gain access
by using a VST to DXI bridge called directixer. This bridge can access the old
style interface of software synths. It gives you
a list of parameters and a track bar to change their values. The new softsynths
however offer such new and cool like effect pads
or file browsers things that the old interface is now useless and mostly not or
only partially supported.
But still you can switch the preset programs of your softsynth.
I hope this helps.
Best regards
