[Athen] Radio and TV Production tools for screen reader

[George Kerscher]

Hello,
 
For audio editing, the free and open source software Obi from the DAISY
Consortium is outstanding for audio editing. It has been developed and
maintained by a blind software developer. Unfortunately it is only available
for Windows.
 
While it is designed for the creation of digital talking books, the audio
editing features can be used for radio editing, podcast development, etc. It
has features that identify small chunks of silences or things like "uh"  and
allows those to be deleted quickly.

Subject: [Athen] Radio and TV Production tools for screen reader
 
Hello everyone,
 
We have a student who is enrolling in both a radio production and a t.v.
production course this fall. The student is blind and primarily uses
VoiceOver, though they are proficient enough with JAWS when needed. I'm
wondering if anyone has any resources or insight on tools or software that
is screen reader friendly for such production work? We have met with the
radio production professor previously who indicated that Audacity was the
main software used in the course, though higher level courses would switch
to Adobe Premier, and we have a meeting scheduled with the t.v. production
professor.
 
Thank you everyone, and have a great weekend!
