Re: Cubase accessibility
Hi, Well if the new Cubase is as accessible as their Mac version of Wavelab I wouldn't bet my money on it. that was pretty unuseable with Voice Over. Bought a usb licenser especially to try the demo. best, Ronald Op 20 mei 2011, om 16:20 heeft Nickus de Vos het volgende geschreven: I have a link that the steinberg guy sent me, I had a quik read on the site and it looks like you can activate it without a usb dongle they say something about E licencing software installed with the trial. anyway here's the link http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/cubase/trial_version.html as for the website speaking german just go in to your verbosity settings and switch off the auto language detect. I receved another mail from the guy from steinberg, guess he realised that he wasn't that helpfull in the first. I'll paist his mail. Dear Mr. De Vos, We have had special research groups with a team of dedicated engineers about Cubase accessibility for the blind and to improve functionality for this matter. I have already been in contact with another blind user that wanted me to confirm that Cubase on Mac is a cocoa framework application. The reason for that is that modern Screereaders are cocoa framework optimized and work especially well, with cocoa framework applications. I can tell you that all menu items and entry fields should be read out by the screenreader software. It is however also important to realize that here is an interdependency between Cubase, the Screenreader and the operating system. Mac OS X Lion is stated to come out in the summer of 2011. It would be interesting to test how Cubase 6, the Screenreader and Mac OS X Lion will work together. Best regards, Jan Hendrik Peters Steinberg Support Don't know what you guys think but to me this is still not very helpfull after asking the guy if they have actually tested cubase or neuendo themselves, but I guess this is better than nothing from their side. Would really appriciate if one of you guys can test it and give us some feedback. _ Bryan Smart wrote: Keep in mind that Cubase AI is like Pro Tools Essentials or Sonar LE.

I said a while back that I'm going to try cubase and neuendo on mac to check if one of the two is accessible. I have had the chance to test cubase 5 on a system but it had OS 5.8.3 obviously with a older version of voiceover so cubase didn't work. A couple of days ago I contacted steinberg who makes cubase and neuendo asking them if they tested one of their products for accessibility. I got a reply today, it's not as useful as I hoped but the guy told me that the new Cubase 6 is now a coco application where cubase 5 was only modified to work on mac, its core wasn't coco. Because of this he said, cubase6 might be accessible and that I should get the trail version and test it however my employers where I have access to macs would not allow me to install it on their machines to test. So if there's anybody with some time and willingness to test cubase 6 with voiceover, please do and let us know what results you get.

Re: Cubase accessibility
I was also hoping to take this for a quick spin with a free hour I have this evening. Gotten as far as steinberg.net talking German at me, Googling for a direct link without much joy, and noticing people saying you need an E Licence key or something to grab the trial? If anybody gets any further with it, would love to hear about it. Feel free to ping me a mail off list.

Re: Cubase accessibility
I'll test it with great pleasure, but I know that you need an usb-elicenser to activate the tryal version. If you hadn't it, I think you couldn't test Cubase... However, if someone is able to test this program, I would like to know if it is accessible or not, and what are the inaccessible areas... Vincenzo.
