Screenreader Accessibility: Is It Possible?

Annabelle

I have Kontakt 4, and because I'm sight challenged, I'm having trouble with certain features that don't exactly have keyboard shortcuts or clearly designed text for their dialog boxes. Particularly the "Batch Import" dialog box. Is there a version of Kontakt that has full screenreader accessibility?

Hello,

without been 100% sure, unfortunately no, at least not fully… the best answer I've got is that, the instruments themselves are not readable with programs for visually impaired people, unless if them only the file menu and the stuff of Kontakt itself… if i have a more detailed answer i will inform you…

however, keep in mind that Kontakt 4 is extremely old and outdated, so, if such options are available it will be available only to newer versions (Kontakt 7)

Would it cost me anything to switch from Kontakt 4 to the most recent version? If so, how much?

You can update up to version 5.6.6 for free.
Check here (you need to be logged in to see it):

But for newer version you will have to buy it, however since you are already a Kontakt user you will get some discount. I can't tell you how much, because it is different for each user.

Login to your account and go to Kontakt page to see what is the price for you :-)
