Hello,

Would it be possible to make the Studio One interface accessible to visually impaired artists (like me;))? For example to offer a larger interface, a magnifying glass or others? No need for vocalization just a few things that make you feel more comfortable with the software interface when you have bad vision.

No DAW to my knowledge offers this kind of things and it's a shame! I have a lot of ideas so if you need it will be with pleasure :)

Thank you !

Hi!

I'm visually impaired. And extremely frustrated by the lack of accessible daws. The only one I know that is closer to that point is Cakewalk by BandLab. Almost everything is recognized by screen readers. But it's not amazing as Studio One. The Midi editing in Studio One is pure bliss for visually impaired musician. Sadly, nothing else is. And it can be done because the software is so controllable by keyboard. I can help for free.

Visually impaired people don't want to work with templates. It can almost ALL be done with accessibility. Cakewalk proved it. But, like I said, it's not as clean and precise as Studio One.

Please, developers, help us. It's a real market. Native Instruments did it with Komplete Kontrol. Extraordinary integration with hardware. They don't do it for a place in paradise... they do it because it's lucrative. 1 out of 20 customers use accessibility features and that's only because that 1 out of 20 knows it exists!

Be modern. Everything else in Studio One is.
