Hello. Did some one say on the list a few days back that they were planning a trip out to the west coast for other training and while there they were going to see if they could meet with the digidesign company and try to begin talks about how the protools software could be made accessable? Some one needs to do this. Potitions need to be drawn up and we need to try to get a good list of blind computer users especially those in the recording and editing field to sign this potition and or a letter of some kind of explanation on how the programs can be made accessable and it needs to be explaned that a change in controls or other changes may not be as difficult as it may seem. Only a programmer can really do explanations like this. I heard comments made by someone here that the protools programmers did not even want to try. They felt that it was to hard. That is a cop out and they don't give 10 cents weather it is accessable or not. We need to try to do sumthing even if it means trying to get the blind organizations to recognize our problem and get people to sign potitions and send to companys of this type who won't even have a resonable disscussion of making programs like this more accessable. First though we need to try to get some one here to pass this around and explain the problem and let the other blind computer users know what's going on, not only with protools but the trend of more than one of these programs slowly moving away from being accessable with screenreaders. Bring this to the attention of the technical podcasts and list having to do with computers and just get people aware of what is going on. Then we could go from there. This may be rambling on but I am concerned about how the high profile recording software is not accessable and how the companys don't seem to care and I think there needs to be more concern shown by the potentule users of this kind of software. We need to let them know how we feel and get people behind us in some way. I am just worried that slowly but surely, one more occupation of being a recording ingineer is slowly slipping away from us if it is not already gone. Tracy Son.
