Re: [orca-list] wondering how good is orca with audacity?

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

There's someone on the list who has been trying to get Audacity working.
My recollection is that some of the menus speak, etc., but functionality
isn't really there. Perhaps they will speak up with more details. I do
not consider Audacity accessible, and it would not be my choice of
applications to try and make accessible.

Please look at Ardour2: http://ardour.org

It already has a lot in the way of keyboard shortcuts. It's gtk2 based,
but loaded with custom widgets. Perhaps it could be scripted. If so, it
would be a major win for us. Ardour is a DigitDesign and Sonar competitor, and a
very capable one, from all accounts.

All the other open tools--Rosegarden, Muse--are KDE based, so even
further out of reach at this time, I'm afraid.
