Major difference between CakeTalking and Jsonar is that CakeTalking is not only a set of scripts to make SONAR accessible but it also installs a number of tutorials in the form of Word documents that are written primarily to help the JAWS user get the most out of using SONAR. You receive about 600 pages of detailed information on setting up and using SONAR as a blind user. CakeTalking also provides you with a wealth of online help and tutorial messages that guide you as you use SONAR. CakeTalking allows you access to certain features of SONAR which Jsonar cannot such as the VVocal pitch correction feature. Bottom line is that CakeTalking is especially helpful to the vast majority of blind users of SONAR who are new to digital audio workstation software like SONAR.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>You can listen to an audio presentation of a blind musician using SONAR by going to <a href="http://www.DancingDots.com">www.DancingDots.com</a> and following the link to “Presentations” and then selecting the link for CakeTalking.
