Please vote for increased accessibility in Reaper!
Hi folks.
I'm asking you to please take a few minutes of your time and express your support for improved accessibility in Reaper, over in the Reaper online forums.
What do I mean by accessibility?
I mean slight software modifications to Reaper that will allow it to work well with screen access technology used by blind and visually-impaired computer users.
Some reasons why this is important:
1. Many blind and visually-impaired studio professionals, musicians amateur and pro, do not have software choices you do, when it comes to DAW's, plug-ins etc.
2. Many of us are on limitted incomes, which makes Reaper's low license cost extremely attractive.
3. Many of us do not have brand new purpose-built DAW's, so the fact that Reaper can run on less than optimal hardware is excellent!
4. Accessibility is fast becoming a requirement for colleges, universities and workplaces making software purchasing decisions, so it would be good for Reaper to get ahead of the curve on this.
5. Great PR for Reaper!

So far, we are only receiving support from other blind and visually-impaired folks. As you can imagine, our numbers are not that impressive, so support from the wider community would be wonderful. Feel free to distribute the link and any of this note to other forums, such as Gearsluts, Sound on Sound, Harmony Central etc.
