[Rwp] Enabling my midi input in Reaper preferences won't work with NVDA

Sat Nov 14 05:41:45 EST 2015

Ah yes, this what I've already tried, and it was taking me to the part op the screen where the preference tabs are. I'll try again when I'm back home tomorrow, or just use one of those handy sighted people to do it for me. Thanks.

I've been using a mac with Voice-over for years, so I might not be as ofay as NVDA as I should be. Thanks for all your hard work with Osara. It has revolutionised my audio production experience.

Surely it's pretty simple for Reaper to help us here. Why can't pressing the applicationts key just bring up the menu? Anyway, I'LL use one of my sighted friendds to do this for the time being. It's always useful to have them on hand, even if they can be a bit annoying. hope this email makes sense. I am using the Iphoneas braille znscreen keyboard while in a noisy pub drunk. ,

Unfortunately, the Windows list view control has a broken accessibility implementation and provides the                   wrong coordinates on high DPI systems when the application isn't DPI aware (which REAPER isn't). I believe I know of a way I can hack around this; but it's pretty tricky.

NVDA                         reads it out and says that it’s disabled. I then press insert slash, and NVdA says “recording”. It is focused on completely the wrong part of the preferences window, and so the numpad star key to right click, takes me away from where I want to be and puts me back on midi devices. I’ve tried this nearly a hundred times now, restarted the computer, relaunched NVda loads of times, and even tried various different Reaper projects, but nothing. After over an hour of trying I decided to finally email you geniuses to see if you had any ideas.
