[Athen] Mac Lab for music technology course

[Jeffrey Dell]

>From what I'm reading there is not a great way to use ProTools and

Finale on Mac with VoiceOver the built in Mac screen reader.  The most
promissing info is posted on a page for Garage Band.  At the bottom in
the comments is mention of people having some VO access to ProTools.

On another page I found Claims that Finale does not work at all with
VO.  If the student is a JAWS user it would probably be better to look
for replacement programs that work on Windows with JAWS like Sound
Forge.  VoiceOver would be a good skill to have but learning VO while
trying to learn a bundle of new software packages might cause your
student to fall behind.  VO is very different from JAWS.
