Future priorities for this web project include:

• To serve as a clearinghouse of technical information related to the accessibility and use of audio recording and editing software and hardware.

• To facilitate the exchange of information between the community of blind audio producers and manufacturers and distributors of digital audio production technology.

CURRENT NEWS
In October 2006, representatives of a loose International affiliation of Blind Audio Producers began working directly with key individuals at Digidesign to determine the future accessibility of the Pro Tools software for Macintosh computers with the Voice Over screen reader feature. Results of that research will be published here as it becomes available.

Please help us in our ongoing efforts to encourage manufacturers to consider accessibility issues in their product design.We ask that you submit your contact information including your name, email address, mailing address, and a description of your visual ability. We DO NOT distribute ANY of your information to anyone without your written consent. WE simply keep data on the total number of blind audio producers and affiliated institutions for the purpose of advocacy toward greater accessibility in software and hardware design. Please be sure to be counted.
