SONAR and screen readers for vision impaired users
SONAR has a special Accessibility Mode which can be helpful for vision impaired users when
working with screen readers (Window-Eyes, JAWS, etc.). The Accessibility Mode is enabled by
adding a key to the Windows Registry (WARNING: only do this if you are comfortable with editing
the Windows registry; you may wish to back up the registry first), and allows screen readers to
receive various information from SONAR that may otherwise not be displayed on the screen
(names, values, etc.).
The key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR Producer\8.0
The Value is:
AccessibilityMode
It is a DWORD. Value can be 0, 1, 2 or 3:
0 - no accessibility (default)
1 - put the access string in the Track view's caption
2 - put the access string in the CWACCESS window
3 - put the access string in the CWACCESS window and make this window visible
