![]() ![]() Although it is quite useable, its accessibility support is rather sketchy/hacky at best. Sonar probably has the best accessibility for the blind out of all of the current Windows DAW solutions. I currently use Cakewalk Sonar as my DAW software. ![]() I'm a totally blind musician and am one of the core developers of NVDA (), a free, open source screen reader for Microsoft Windows. There must be some visually impaired Reaper users out there! I'd still be interested to know how other visually impaired people get on with Reaper, just out of curiosity if nothing else. ![]() The manual isn't visually impaired friendly but my mate's main problem seems to have been the learning curve inherent in trying any new DAW. I'm pretty quick with Sonar now though, as I've gotten quite used to it, some of the stuff I can't do isn't that important anyhow really, and is the kinda things I can't really see a way I could do even if it worked absolutely fantastically with a screen reader, just. Had it have been immediately apparent to me (well after an hour of playing with it or so), how it all worked, and had it have worked quicker and easier with the Screen-reader, I'd have been tempted to trial it more in depth and maybe think about using it instead. I didn't have as much a look at the software as I could have (after all I do testing software and internet applications etc kinda as part of my job), but I was just curious to have a look and see if it was going to be really easy to use. Of course it may just work so differently that bringing along what I know from Sonar isn't helping, but the manuals aren't much help at all, as they have sentences like 'click on in the X view and then drag.' where the missing word is a picture of the graphic/icon on the screen.
