[Rwp] basics

I was reading about OSARA at gitHub and noticed that it's using MSAA and 
should be able to be used with any screen reader.

Is anyone working on a scriptset for JAWS with Reaper using OSARA?  Just 
curious because I've not used NVDA.  I'll be tackling two learning curves 
NVDA and Reaper, unless there is a JAWS port (or interest in one).  I could 
try to develop something on my own but I have a hard time being at the 
computer and not playing guitar at the same time.

Here's what appears to be the basics for setting up Reaper with OSARA:
1.  Download OSARA, NVDA, and Reaper.
2. Install Reaper, install OSARA in Plugins folder of Reaper.
3. Install NVDA.  Learn NVDA and its eccentricities.
4. Learn Reaper and its eccentricities.

I wonder if it would be easier to learn Reaper by creating a JAWS scriptset 
for it... if I made the UI like Audacity I would have less of a learning 
curve.  Any suggestions?

Best,
David
