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 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 12:21:29 +0200 From: MAGIX Support <support@magix.net> To: chris@moblind.org Subject: Re: [Ticket#2018051617008471] Ihre Anfrage an den Kundendienst 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!

Hi,
in QT there are accessibility features available: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.10/accessible.html If I remember correctly when VLC changed to QT it wasn't accessible until these features are switched on. Same with Rockbox Utility. So probably Magix only have to turn on the accessibility features in QT. Yours sincerely Arno

Hi. It depends upon which version of the QT framework is being used. As far as I know, The earlier versions, up to version 4 of the framework in question is sketchy at best, when it comes to accessibility. QT5, the latest and most up-to-date version is now much more accessible out of the box. Cheers!
