It’s these details that make the difference to any implementation of accessibility – much like a sighted person helping a blind person down a flight of stairs it’s not much help telling them that there are some stairs there… Where do the stairs begin? How many stairs are there? Which direction do they go? Is there a hand rail? Context is just as important to help navigation. The premise of these improvements has not just been to read what’s on the screen, but to add contextual detail too. If you have time, I thoroughly recommend you watch the recording: I had the pleasure of attending the Accessibility Panel at the Audio Development Conference in November where we discussed many of the challenges and new solutions to developing applications across a wide range of devices. This is no mean feat since Sibelius is such a large application with several different interfaces, so kudos to the development team for tackling such a large undertaking. Our releases in November ’18, and in September ’19 covered much of the staff objects in the score, and this December release focuses on a good collection of improvements to make much of the UI (user interface) accessible to these popular screen readers. The bulk of the work so far has been to bring parity between the various common screen readers NVDA, Narrator, VoiceOver and JAWS. Avid and Berklee College of Music are proud to be working together to bring improvements across the Sibelius product line for visually impaired users.
