Hi Michael and Chris,

OSARA can be gotten from http://github.com/nvaccess/osara. You'll want
to take a read of the ReadMe on that page and grab the D&G keymap
which is linked to. Installation isn't particularly tricky, but for
now, it is a manual process. The instructions in the ReadMe were
written with a Windows installation in mind, which is where I'd
recommend you to be for now if you'll need to ask questions of other
users. OSARA has better Mac support on the development timeline early
next year, but a few folks have made some headway on the Mac in the
meantime. Right now, the best resource I can think of to point Mac
users toward is Oreo's www.reaperaccess.com site.

HTH

Scott
