hi
Thomas has it right. Audacity is neither inaccessible nor fully
accessible. I think the main issue with audacity isn't with audacity
itself, but with the toolkit it uses to render it's dialogs, wxgtk.
There is an issue or series of issues that keeps wxgtk from
communicating properly with at-spi on linux and ... I'm not sure what
mac osx uses, when it tries to render lists or edit areas. It only
works properly on windows. There's an open bug against it, i'll see if
I can find a link so us blind people can start bugging them for a fix.
Once this bug is fixed, it'll make a huge difference in not only
audacity, but as of last count, the 7 zip filemanager, and the dolphin
emulator, among probably lots of others.
Thanks
Kendell clark
