Hi Cakewalk friends,
I am an university professor and will be talking on a seminar about the use of technology for helping visually/physically impaired students. I would like to know of any software that can help those students on creating music.
Is Sonar able of responding to person speaking through a microphone like we say OK GOOGLE! CALL MY FRIEND JOHNN?
Is there any third party software (ex:JAWS) that can work together with Sonar by responding or reading the screen as you move the mouse?
Is there any music to Braille tool available?
Is it possible for a blind person to create music by using the keyboard shortcuts in Sonar?
 
Any help will be very wellcomed,
 
Thank you very much.

Hi. I remember reading this some time ago. Perhaps it will be of help.

Don't know if it is perhaps something like this you are looking for.

I have collected the information about my activity at one place: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/board,11.0.html
 
In general, from what I know, Sonar 8.5 was the last version supported by third party tools (CakeTalking and JSonar). Starting from X, the interface was changed and these tools are unable to work. X2a+ accessibility mode tend to crash Sonar as soon as a screen reader is present. Recent CW plug-ins (f.e. Rapture Pro) and not accessible. 8.5 is still in use for the purpose. Unfortunately, Windows 8 - 10 has changed window schema and these tools have problems with that. So, Sonar 8.5 under Windows 7 is still what works.
 
The information in the link is my personal opinion and tools, an attempt to move forward. Till now all that is "one man" only attempt.

Thank you very much Zargg and Azslow3,
That a pity that CakeTalking and jSonar is not working on newest Sonar versions.
 
I will check the links you guys posted.
 
Thank you very much!
 
Best Regards
