Mac-cessibility Podcast SE #4 – ProTools Gaining Accessibility

3 November, 2009 @ 2:12 pm by Lioncourt

In this special edition episode of the Mac-cessibility Podcast, we interview Slau Halatyn who spearheaded the ProTools Petition, which requested that Digidesign implement Apple’s accessibility standards into its ProTools product, an application for professional-level audio production.

Slau had a chance to visit Digidesign in San Francisco, and got to experience first hand the tremendous progress being made toward ProTools accessibility with VoiceOver. We discuss his experiences with Digidesign, the developer behind ProTools access, the progress being made, and what we can expect from ProTools in the future.

    Surprise surprise, I’m the first to comment on this podcast, and it was made nearly three months ago. Lots of water under the bridge, most notably, Avid taking ProTools over from Digidesign. Now they have two packages. Wondering if they’ll wind up merging the two, making Sibelius accessible, just what. Also wondering, what with the takeover/merger/whatever-it-is, is the mid-Spring release of accessible PT still on target? Is Avid interested in a pre-release group of blind users or testers? I’d give my left you-know-what to be in that number, as the song says, or to be chosen to be Mr. John Q. Random to learn the new package and then sit up on stage somewhere and demonstrate it at a press release or store event.

    I know these are all pie-in-the-sky ideas and rhetorical questions, but you never know who reads what you write if you don’t write it for them to read–did that make sense?–maybe someone with answers will respond.
