Subject: [nvda] Sound Forge 12.5

Hi:

I did figure out how to contact Magix and got the following response, actually a pretty good response.

Does anybody know about NVDA and this QT Framework? Is this something that is being addressed in NVDA at all?

It sounds to me like these guys could be interested in helping.

Chris

Greetings Chris,

Thank you for contacting us. I have discussed it with our developers, and I have also researched the NVDA and Cobra screen readers, and it is our opinion that the problem is caused by the new interface for SFAS 12. The new version uses QT framework, and from what I have found, there are many, many complaints from seeing impaired users about difficulties with screen readers interacting with QT framework. I would recommend writing the makers of the screen readers and ask them if they know of an incompatibility issue with QT framework. Of course, if there is, we would be happy to refund your purchase. If you would like, I could send you a trial version of Sound Forge Audio Studio 10...I know it's a bit older, but it uses a different framework, and should work much better with screen reading software. If you want to try that, let me know, and I'll be happy to set it up.

??e apologize to you for the inconvenience of that. I personally see it as a big problem, and I will talk with our developers about what we can do in the future to change this--it should be our goal as a company to make sure all of our programs can function properly when used with a screen reading interface.
??e thank you for your time, and we will await your response. In the meantime, have a great day!

Best regards,
Craig Dickerson

I use the NVDA screen reader for the blind and Cobra screen reader for the blind.
Soundforge 12.5 will not allow me to highlight portions of an audio file and skips around randomly in the file as well. I need somebody to assist me in working directly with the screen reader manufacturer to try and see what is going on.

Thank you.
