Evaluate sonification sandbox from GATech as per Module 5

It is in Java so test it with screen reader (don't forget to have the accessibility bridge installed)

So after getting an email (email is below for reference) from the person who is in charge of sonification sandbox, we were able to get a copy a of jar that they were most recently working on. However it's through a dropbox link, the version they gave crashes occasionally (for no reason?). Using mac VoiceOver there was little/ no accessibility with the exception that you could tab over items (however items are not named). So I do not recommend using this application as per Module 5, it's not working right now and I am not sure when it'll be working.

Hi Ethan,

There were a lot of compatibility issues from the upgrade from Java 6 to 7, and while we're working to fix them, they have not all been taken care of. Here's a link (https://www.dropbox.com/s/83yalzok92fa8s6/sandbox_beta.zip?dl=0) to the current beta version that we have. Hopefully it will be enough to get you started on what you wanted to do.
Ben Davison has graduated from the lab and isn't working on the project anymore; I'm sorry for the confusion.
Please let me know if you have any more problems!

Thanks,

hmm..ok.

I may contact Brianna to discuss the project with them to see what's up.
Can you send me her email as it was not in your message?

I did a talk about JBrick this week and a blind programmer asked about
being able to jump to a specific line of code (as in a keyboard shortcut
and menu that pops up asking which line to go to).

Not a bad idea that should not be that bad to add. Can you guys go ahead
and add that in?

Thanks,

The email I initially sent was to Dr. Bruce Walker ([email protected]), but Brianna Tomlinson ([email protected]) replied with Dr. Bruce Walker CC'd in the email.
