[musictlk] JAWS And Kontakt

[Sarah alawami]

Would hotspots work in this case? I don't use that contact player but that's
just a suggestion.

Take care.

Hi, my name is Annabelle Morison, but you can just call me Annabelle.

I am a blind young woman who is a former student of Lane Community College
in Eugene, Oregon. I studied to become an audio engineer, producer, and
sound designer. Within six years, from September 2003 to June 2009, I took
Music fundamentals, Music theory 1, Sight Reading and Ear Training 1,
Keyboard Skills 1, Individual Piano Lessons, Jazz Theory, Music Technology
MIDI-Audio 1, Music Technology MIDI-Audio 2, Music Technology MIDI-Audio
Independent Study 1, Music Technology MIDI-Audio Independent Study 2, Music
Technology MIDI-Audio Independent Study 3, Music Technology MIDI-Audio
Independent Study 4, Audio Engineering 1, Audio Engineering 2, Audio
Engineering 3, and Audio Production. My studies culminated in straight A's,
and winning an award for Special Outstanding Achievement in Music
Technology. Since my career will be based around making virtual instruments
and sample packs, I'd like to find out, how would a blind person like me
make virtual instruments in Kontakt? In other words, how would I be able to
drag all the samples of any instrument into the Kontakt interface, then map
each note across an entire keyboard? Also, how would I save the finished
instrument as an .nki, .nkb, or .nkm file? Would I have to have help from
someone who can

time reading the screens. Since a lot of the buttons and controls are based
on bitmap images rather than text, I'm beginning to realize that JAWS
doesn't have the ability to read Bitmap image-based buttons and controls.
So, I was wondering if there's a series of scripts for all the buttons and
controls that would otherwise be accessed by sighted customers. I have a few
companies that you could contact, to ask about any further information on
how to make Kontakt work with JAWS. You could contact Yes Accesible in
Monrovia, California at 1-626-358-5750. You could contact Freedom Scientific
in Saint Petersburg, Florida at 1-727-803-8600. You can also contact T&T
Consultancy in England at +44
