I found out about this program from Audiogames this morning, and I was wondering if anyone has used this and could offer some help. Apparently, this is an extremely accessible and blind friendly tab viewer that gives you text instructions about what fret to press and all.
Firstly, the link for it is

I found it a pain to download. I outsourced the job.
You need to download tabs into the program. I found downloadable tabs here

The webpage says it doesn't work well with Jaws, so I tried it with the latest NVDA on windows 7. I can't get anything on the screen to read at all except for the system menu. I have JRE 7 and access bridge correctly installed, maybe. There's supposed to be a button to click to download the tab in, but like I said, nothing will read. I haven't tried this on a mac yet, but it says it works well with VO. I'm very sad that it doesn't work for me, since I was excited to try it out. I messaged the person on the forum who origionally posted about it, so if nobody has any ideas, I'll repost what he says if I hear back.
Maybe it just hates me and will work for someone else? If anyone has a mac and tries this out, let me know how it works. I'd like to get this figured out!
I used to try to read tabs for years. When my brother took bass lessons he was always getting them from magazines and stuff. Or sometimes I'd have to listen to a song and try to pick out the bass line to show him.
