Hi Jim, glad to see someone else joining the cause. The best source for getting
started with HSC is the documentation that is included with the install.
There really aren't tutorials for HSC that I know of, most of us develop the
experience as we go. Having a background in scripting or software development
helps a great amount, as we can then edit the code itself once spots are
created, but there are wizards to accomplish most tasks; Jim did a good job in
keeping the utility easy to use.
Regarding FocusRite Control, the problem with the software is that it is very
dynamic, with allot of pop-out and pop-over menus when you click items, which
makes it really hard to track things on screen or give any kind of feedback.
The UI doesn't expose any text whatsoever to the screen, so trying to get the
information is very difficult.
We are currently working on backdoor access to the control panel through other
means, but I'm not at liberty to speak much on that right now.
Glad to here that FR is taking notice as a company and wants to push for
accessibility.
HTH, DJX

Hello List,
This is off-topic but I don't know where else to go.
I have a new audio interface, a 3 gen Sscarlet 18/20.
I would like to have a long study of the HSC utility and eventually create a
hsc set in order to make it's control panel accessible using jaws.
I've just spoken with a support person at Focusrite and he is telling me that
people within the company are pushing for a more accessible platform so that
screen reader users have better access to the control panel.
Any thoughts.
