Re: [orca-list] Audacity

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

The accessibility of Audacity was the work of Dominic Mazzoni, now at
Google working on Chrome accessibility.

If memory serves, his wife is a musician, so needed an accessible daw. I
could be wrong, but I believe this was a labor of love.

It seems the community has managed to retain his earlier work quite
well. I don't know to what degree anyone in particular is pursuing
accessibility enhancements or bug fixes in Audacity.
