[LAU] Re: Accessibility: Peak indication (OT?)

Hi Worik,

Jeanette is our resident expert on accessibility in music
production software. Perhaps she'll weigh in.

Ecasignalview, a utility which comes with ecasound, provides
a bar that indicates sound levels. You would use it during a
sound check before recording.

A batch utility that detects max-level samples in a recorded
clip would also serve.

I doubt a screen reader or braille display would be able
to make use of the dynamic display of the ecasignalview
solution.

Have fun (and no overs)
