[RWP] Rewiring Reaper to Anything

[Indigo]

You know, I've been meaning to do a little thread on accessibility in 
general.
How can accessibility be a single fixed thing, when we're all using 
different screenreaders, different computers, and have different levels 
of experience of what we call access?
One person needs the comfort of the screenreader providing announcements 
as to when he is leaving a menu, another finds that level of verbosity 
annoying.
One user  is willing to probe the screen extensively with his right hand 
on the number pad, another expects all access to come only from the 
arrows and tab keys.
I began way back before speech on computers, even made music before midi 
existed, with voltage control and click tracks.
Because Atari ST's were used in so many studios,  I recorded macros to 
move the mouse to buttons, and ran the Atari without speech and ran 
Doctor T's Keyboard Controlled Sequencer.
Even earlier, I sequenced midi on single track hardware sequencers with 
absolutely no event editing.
If you made a mistake playing, your only choice was to play the passage 
again until you got it right, or press a foot pedal to punch in; insert 
the correct note and quickly punch out.
Maybe a mistake, but  I started screenreaders with Vocalize in dos, then 
went to Wineyes, which never had the benefits of  scripts or Hot Spot 
Clicker.
Meanwhile, lucky Jaws users have had hellpful scripts and CakeTalking 
all these decades, with my blessings, no jealousy from me..
Right now we have resourceful NVDA and System Access users who are 
pioneering running Reaper and Reason, with no scripts and almost no 
support community.
Man, everything with computers that talk, event level midi editing, 
scanning the screen with a choice of screenreaders, all seems like 
access heaven to me.
Nobody can guarantee  accessibility to anyone, accessibility is 
individual, and depends on how determined the user is to achieve, and 
how inventive they are to find work arounds when issues arise.
