I just put a stamp on two pigeons and tossed them out the window. One thing stressed was lost sales due to inaccessibility.
Thanks for the contacts. I used them both.

Hello Scott, Today I picked up the UA 8P black face. I am blind and use Voice Over on the Mack in order to interact with controls within the Mack environment. Though Protools, Slate, waves, Sound Toys and a myriad of other plugin manufactures are accessible with Voice Over, the UA interface is not. To my knowledge this is not the first time this has been brought to the attention of your company. I would like to know if any thought has been given to helping your blind users start to be able to access the full functions and features of this software? Myself along with many other blind engineers depend on making a living through our project studios and hope that as we support your company, you can find a way to try and support us. Feel free to contact me, I would love to start this conversation. For all we know, it may take very little to make the software interface accessible, this would make a very significant difference for blind users. I spent the last month going back and forth between Apogee, Focusrite and others and after dozens of hours trying to choose a product, I spent my money with you guys. Please afford me the opportunity to actually be able to use the great features in this unit. I hope that you have a great holiday season, Regards, Nate Kile Assistive Technology Instructor, Youth Transition Coordinator, Residential Monitor Equipping Alaskans for success Alaska Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired 3903 Taft Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99517 907.248.7770.308 fax 907.248.7517 Direct Line 907.444.3707 <mailto:nk...@alaska.org> nk...@alaska.org <http://www.alaskabvi.org> www.alaskabvi.org <http://www.facebook.com/alaskabvi> www.facebook.com/alaskabvi Please consider supporting our mission.

The Sweet water took off around $500 so I said, what the heck. Question, I know that the plugins can be run natively, but can the UA concil be accessed with voice over yet? Any thoughts are appreciated.
