[RWP] SWS for Augmenting ReaAccess

[Indigo]

I guess if I felt comfortable myself in NVDA  and could get around 
Reaper with it I would have thought of it, but you're right, NVDA would 
do fine; and be simpler to get, and wouldn't time out after 30 minutes.
I don't think we can expect Tim of SWS to be our programmer, though, 
just an adviser.
We must have someone with those skills among us; who would know what's 
needed from our point of view
I wouldn't be the right one, since my problem is that I'm not 
discontented with Reaper and ReaAccess as they are.
I work very simply in Reaper, I know that when I arrow up or down to a 
track it's selected, and I would resent the program speaking a reminder; 
like, "You have selected track 1."
I'm always trying to disable verbosity in a program, that's why I can't 
work in NVDA; it's constantly babbling about what row and column I'm on, 
and I don't care, I just wanta get on with my work in peace.
I'm curious, though, to learn how much work it would be to make minor 
tweaks to ReaAccess with SWS code.
