Kontrol Keyboard MK3 Accessibility true or not?

Kado

Hello,

I purchased the Machine MK3 and the Kontrol MK3 keyboard just this month. I am a blind user. I am seeking help with questions that I cannot find a direct answer to. Is the Kontrol MK3 keyboard accessible for the blind. If not will there be an update for speech support or has the project been done away with. I find YouTube videos stating the Mk3 keyboard is accessible but when each video plays it always refers to the MK2 keyboard. Please help. Thanks

We are working on implementing this at the moment. Kontrol S MK3 will be made Accessible in early 2025

This is already accessible via the use of NI Accessibility Helper App.

Once implemented, Kontrol S MK3 will also use the app.

thanks you

Does your answer stand true for the Mashine MK3 as well? Not sure if it is already accessible and it is me doing something wrong in my setup. It seemed to work at first. Thanks

Hello, I would like to ask if there is any potential compatibility update for my MK33 keyboard by Native Instruments. According to a previous announcement, an accessibility feature for blind users was supposed to be added in early 2025. Has there been any update regarding this matter?
Thank you very much for your time and support.

Kado

Direct answer is NO.
