[Menvi-discuss] Fwd: Bounce Metronome: Improved Accessibility

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
This looks really feature heavy! I just wish my computer was loud enough 
with external speakers so I could really hear it. If he had an accessible 
Android App I would probably use that a lot... The balls sound really neat, 
I'll have to tell my friends about this.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hi folks.

Robert Walker, the inventor and programmer of Bounce Metronome, has
once again improved accessibility for those of us using screen
readers.  Below is an excerpt from an email I just received.
This guy needs our support.

For more info on Bounce Metronome, just go to www.bouncemetronome.com

>Some of the highlights though:

>Fixed those error messages you get during start up.
>Arrow keys now work for drop lists like the list of metronomes.
>Control + Home and Control + end navigation of window.
>Escape key now works normally and doesn't change to full screen - 
>configured in Options - CONTROL + 202.
>Options window now has options to hide various things throughout Bounce 
>Metronome.

>In the window titles and in other places did the keyboard shortcuts with a 
>dash rather than parenthesis. Was tedious listening to Jaws reading out 
>Left paren whatever right paren all the time so think this helps.

>Also removed various things in some of the windows that still refer to 
>graphics only of interest to sighted users. These are just mistakes arising 
>because many of the windows are created by removing content from windows 
>for sighted users.
>
>Added Show Minimal Bounce for presentations to sighted audiences. to the 
>Options window and Opts drop menu.
>
>The list of Window shortcuts in the Options Window Control + 202 gets

>Opts drop menu - and on whether you show pitched instruments or not, etc.

>Surely a lot more when I write it up.
