[nfbcs] GuitarPro Scripts or IOS Accessibility

[Andy Borka]

I don't think anything has been done with it. The only way it would work 
is if the company exposes the UIA information for scripters to grab, or 
at least had done it the old way with MSAA. Cakewalk and the newer 
versions of what used to be called Sonar have the same problem. From 
what I understand, most blind musicians use Goodfeel and Protools on the 
MAC, and take their work quite seriously. Thus, have the motivation to 
spend the money on newer hardware/software that is already accessible.

I e-mailed the company and they said it is not accessible and they have no current plans to make it accessible – they are in France. Do you know of any  scripting or anything else that accesses the mxml or other files produced by this software? If the xml or other files could be accessed perhaps a nice computer program could be dev eloped to access the thousands and thousands of guitar tabs for music by blind folks.
