How to use Scale Workshop with a screen reader

To use scale workshop with a screen reader, You can use nvda. I haven't tested with jaws or voiceover on mac, but they may work. The only accessible vst that that supports microtuning is surge xt. When you go to scale workshop, go to the scale workshop, we'll start by creating a new scale. With nvda, press down arrow until you hear exactly these words. New scale filled down pointing triangle. If you just hear new scale, that's fine too. Press enter on new scale and as a test, we're going to make an equal temprament scale, When you choose equal temprament, a spin box will appear. You can either type the value or increment or decrement the value with up and down arrow keys respectively. Let'ss elect 10. The easiest is to remove what's typed there and type in 10. You can navigate to the okay button and hit enter. The scale is created and you are back at the main screen. At this point, you can press nvda+space to enable browse mode and begin to play your newly created scale. You can change some features like the frequency in hz. If you want to play it again, tab to a link and enable browse mode, and play away. Exporting your scale. To export your scale to scl, Press the 2 key to move by heading level 2, until you hear export current settings. Choose scl and download it. And then choose kbm.
