However, none of the features/functions, and tweaking controls are available to Voiceover users yet. From what I've heard on this app, the piano tone is absolutely gorgeous. It has been developed in a way where Voiceover and the App do not get along.īecause I am a musician and a pianist, I would like to advocate for more accessible IOS apps such as this Ravenscroft 275 piano app. I believe that this is an issue of software encoding, and this app did not seem to be designed with the Blind in mind. It is only when Voiceover is turned off that all controls and functions in this app will work. Basically, the device behaves like the screen is locked, even though visually it is not. Gestures will not work, and Voiceover no longer speaks. The instant the app is launched, Voiceover stops talking. The one big problem, is the lack of usability with Voiceover. It works with external MIDI controllers or keyboards through MIDI USB or Bluetooth.
This is a virtual software piano app that can run on all IOS and most desktop platforms. The app I'd like to discuss in particular, is called Ravenscroft 275 Piano. One of my biggest hobbies is performing live places and using my iPad as a MIDI sound module. I own an iPhone, iPod, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
I am a blind musician who has been playing piano for 28 years. This is my very first time posting to Apple Vis.
