Re: Grants for developing accessible software

Hello,

Last time I used audacity on Linux which was around 6 or more months ago, the track list was completely inaccessible, even if you named them Orca would just be silent. Has this been fixed, or is there a setting I don't know about that fixes this? The idea of TUI software is nice, but it has to be written a certain way for Orca and other screen readers to correctly determine where focus is and announce state changes. Highlight tracking fixes some things, but not all.

Well, I myself have used Audacity for about 15 years and it's Tenacity
fork for about a year. I use nothing but Linux, and I find these apps to
be very much accessible using Orca. In fact, although I did use it on XP
at one point very long ago, I found the Linux version worked better for
me using the same USB hardware I had at the time. My recordings even
came out better using Linux, whereas on XP I got a terrible loud hiss.
This is not at all related to accessibility though. In any case, I don't
find Audacity or its family tree lacking in accessibility. Still, I am
glad to see other options available in this space, so definitely keep up
the great work you're doing. Sadly I am unaware of what if any grants
may be available, but if you accept donations, I'm sure plenty of people
will be interested in contributing to Nama financially. Volunteers can
probably help with coding as well. All the best.
