Hi James! Me too I'm interested in linux audio applications for blind people and my site http://ltsb.sf.net is concerned with this subject. I think there are some more people interested in the same subject, I believe there's Mario Lang, the guy who inspired ardour-ksi and a couple of other folks. Linux and audio is simply the best choice for blind users, that's my opinion. For the linux folks take the liberty and time to build text-based interfaces or have programming languages for musical applications. You don't find this in any other MODERN operating system. Only the old dos was completely up to that task. Did I say completely? No, 'cause even they had a few only graphics apps, which marked "high quality" products of that time. Those early graphic apps, weren't up for accessibility. Kindest regards and forgive my flaming temperament :-) Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net - the Linux TextBased Studio guide
