It would be useful to have the US Microsoft addresses for windows. The
German ones won't be useful when a US person is writing an e-mail for your
campaign.

we thought of compiling a list of plugins that we are interested in and
whose manufacturers we could write to. If everyone were to write a personal
e-mail, the manufacturers would see how many there are who would like to
have accessible plugins. Spectrasonics, for example, mentioned that they are
planning to make Omnisphere accessible in a future update. Now we are
looking for others who would like to join us in order to increase the
chances of getting accessible plugins. I would greatly appreciate your
participation in the campaign. Since the introduction of Voiceover, the high
level of awareness to this screenreader and to the term "accessibility"
among manufacturers has greatly increased our chances. Further below, you
will find a list of manufacturers along with their support e-mail addresses
or the forum thread under which you can contact them.

blind, I need to use aids like screenreaders. Efficient solutions are
available both for Windows and for Mac. You might have heard of Voiceover,
the integrated screenreader of Mac. Have your plugins been programmed as
barrier-free? This would be important for me to use them. For the
screenreader to be able to read the information, the plugin must contain
standard elements in Windows or the cocoa framework in Mac.

requirements that need to be fulfilled to make a program barrier-free.
