<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Wow,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am finally getting around to getting started with
Reaper. Man, this is a very very nice little program. Very snappy
and efficient. It nakes sonar look and feel like a cumbersome old
albatraus! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Meanwhile, While we're waiting for Reaper Access to
come into the hands of people who can really make it sing for all of us, JAWS
users will want to know that HotSpotClicker works pvery nicely with this
program. If you can find the item you want with the jaws cursor, you
can easily define a hot key to quickly jump there, and speak the information you
want, or do whatever kind of mouse click you need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Visit </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><A
href="http://HotSpotClicker.org">http://HotSpotClicker.org</A> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>if you want more info about that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I won't be developing a complete set of jaws
scripts for it, and selling them for cash. But, I'll be generating some
little script fragments to address my personal pet issues.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've already got cursor time and level for the
current track showing up on the braille display, updating in real
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And, hot keys to speak, or reset the level for the
current track.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And, some keys to let your more easily hear the
audio as you nudge the left or right ends of a time selection.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, some handy things are shaping up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Again, I don't plan to take this too far.
Just far enough to serve my own needs, and perhaps, some of those that are
suggested to me, that I actually know how to address. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm leaving the existing scripts in place, even
though the need for some of them isn't apparent to me at the
moment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If I get something worth while cooking, I may post
them on my web site, snowmanRadio.com, in case they are useful to
somebody. Since they're free, your every problem isn't necessarily my
every problem. But, if you use them, and have an idea for something
useful, let me know, and I'll see if anything can be done within
reason.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>One auspicious problem with adapting Reaper is that
there are so darned many hot keys already, that assigning new ones is a bit
tricky. Do you guys like layered keyboard approaches? You know, where you
press a special hot key that gets you into a new layer, where you have a totally
new set of hot key assignments until you exit the layer back to your original
layer? I have mixed feelings about that sort of thing. It's great
for keyboard real estate, but it's a bit les efficient.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Happy Reaping. May you Reap even more than you
sew.</FONT></DIV>
