[RWP] reaper on mac using voiceover version 4

[Victor Tsaran]

I don't think Reaper is really all that accessible on the Mac. They have done first steps all right, however, it is not where it needs to be in order to be considered a productive tool for blind musicians.
1. There is no easy way to navigate between tracks.
2. It is impossible to navigate between items without spoken feedback.
3. The navigation between controls is very sluggish.
4. Media Explorer is not very well labeled for VoiceOver accessibility.

the list goes on.
Thanks,
Victor

I don't know about the feedback issue, since I really haven't done much more than give it a cursory look, but I think that the idea of scripting has to be expanded in general for VO to truly become as robust a solution as it needs to be.
