Thanks for the quick response, how well does PT work in conjunction with
zoom? Also please elaborate about the control surface, does it make PT
measurably easier to operate for the Voice Over user?
Thanks much for indulging a beginner and my much to simplistic questions.

Subject: Re: need a recamendation on a control serfis
A couple thoughts Jake....
The entry-level control surface is the Digi 003, with eight assignable
faders and encoder knobs, plus some permanently assigned knobs and
buttons. If you're doing smaller sessions this may be all you
need..... especially if you can make use of the illuminated display
that tells you what the faders are currently controlling. I haven't
tested Voiceover with this setup though to know what it will indicate
about the hardware status.
The more sophisticated control surfaces with a full fader panel are
also a lot more expensive, and take up a lot more room. Generally
these are for larger sessions, but it depends on whether you want to
avoid the "layered" approach of the 003.
As for ZoomText..... on the Mac the Apple version is called Zoom,
part of the same Accesibility panel where you find Voiceover, but it's
not nearly what ZoomText provides. Kind of like Zoom plus Voiceover
begins to approach ZoomText but... not quite.
I'm still learning what's available and possible, and don't have PT
installed on a PC to test it yet as we're pretty much a Mac house,
but.... will let you know when I get to that.

As the subject implies I need a recommendation on a good entry level
control surface to run with PT and Voice Over. I also have a general
question as to does PT work with either ZoomText for the PC or the Mac
equivalent.
thanks much
