Re: [orca-list] accessible audio editor



You could also check out Nama as well. Julian seems to be using it
without problems. It is CLI, so a11y shouldn't be an issue.

this is quite true.  Wxwidgets being somewhat inaccessible is
something longstanding and well-known.  It's a shame since there are
lots of very nice applications that are written in this library which
the a11y issues keep us from using.  To work on it, I believe you have
to have the following going for you:

1.  Be knowledgeable in c++.
2.  Have the time.
3.  Have the willingness.
4.  Understannd accessibility in a Linux environment with at-spi well
enough to tweak the library.

I made peace with the fact that this is moste unlikely to get fixed
and just keep away from wxwidget apps in Gnome altogether.  I'm glad
to hear that Audacity works as well as it does though.

Hello,
Unfortunatelly these things appear to be accessible under windows.
I am afraid these are wxvidgets or wxgtk issues.
On linux this toolkit does not implement proper accessibility for lists,
tables and treeviews.
I am afraid this is not going to be fixed at least not anytime soon
unless anyone knowledgeable and passionate enough is willing to kick in.

Greetings

Peter

I use Audacity for recording and editing. Effects need a little flat
review love, since the first widget in a window doesn't get focus as it
should. Also, the tabs on the preferences window are only announced as
panels, but the options work fine. Also, if you have multiple tracks,
you need to count from the top or bottom beep to find which one to
select.
Have you reported these and any other issues to the Audacity developers
as
bugs?

One of the principal authors of Audacity, Dominic Mazzoni, now works in
accessibility at Google. I don't know whether he is involved in Audacity
anymore however.
