Hi, I think what they are saying is avid needs to be made aware of the
accessibility issues we are having with pro tools where they exist and
that they don't officially support voice over usage but really what
needs to be addressed more is the documentation and fixes. I was also
told by support to alert avid about any accessibility issues and to also
submit support requests for improovments in the accessibility and as
someone from avid is going to be near where I live very soon doing a
demo I do plan to be there to bring these issues to their attention.

Chuck,
what are you talking about? Avid themselves said they would not support
VoiceOver questions specifically because they don't have the resources and
they're specifically not announcing any official compatibility. Who is telling
you that tech support should address questions regarding VoiceOver? Anyone who
is saying that has no idea what's going on.

Hi Nick,
I agree "we need to go to places around where we live if avid is going to be showing
off pro tools 10 and show them the accessibility issues as the more they see the issues
we are having learning or using it they could improve their documentation" most
importantly VoiceOver implementation being an on going part of Avid.
My contacts inside Avid suggest the same thing including using Avid tech
support channels to raise the VoiceOver flag!
This is not just Chuck raving this is real people inside Avid saying this!
Lets get busy! ;)

Hi, I have the mac book pro 17 inch and yes you should upgrade the ram to 8
gigs it will cost you a little but it is well worth it. I myself upgraded the
ram and I say it is best to get it done at an early stage then a later one when
you really need the memory. I agree that more for the blind user using pro
tools 10 needs to be produced as from reading the manuals with my copy
sometimes it is not very clear how to always do something the blind way even if
some keyboard commands are given. I would so buy a complete tutorial made in
audio of using pro tools for the blind if one existted. I also think we need
to go to places around where we live if avid is going to be showing off pro
tools 10 and show them the accessibility issues as the more they see the issues
we are having learning or using it they could improove their documentation and
their software for everyone. Nick Gawronski

Hello all,
I am getting ready to take the mac plunge, and I was wondering what
people might would recommend. I am looking at getting the macbook pro
with the 15-inch monitor, and the quad cor i7 processor but upgrading
the drive to 8 gigs. Was kind of wondering what people are using who
are using the macbook pros for recording. Also, I have been doing
alot of reading on the voiceover screenreader getting the commands
under my belt before I purchase the mac so I won't have such a huge
learning curve ahead of me. My question on the protools side of
things is this: I know that Kevin Reeves has done 3 great podcasts on
using protools with voiceover, but I was wondering if anyone has
written any guides as far as using protools with voiceover or are
there any other podcast tutorials out there. I thought maybe that was
in the works, that someone was writing the textbooks for the protools
certification courses so that blind people could take those courses as
well. Just was wondering what is out there to learn the program with
voiceover if anything. Thank you for your help,
Brian
