@JustinMac84 @RaymondsCorner @payown Was wondering if you had experience with ID3 tags in Reaper? I'd like to be able to convert to mp3 and tag in one program if possible.

For any enthusiasts of legacy assistive tech, it seems the first source code of the Talks Screen Reader for Nokia 9110 Communicator has been published by one of the original devs. Unbelievable to think that it all started off as a bunch of prerecorded messages supplemented by the ability to spell anything it doesn't have ready letter by letter and plugging in external synthesizers and Braille displays via the serial port:

macOS Sequoia: New Features, Changes, Improvements, and Bugs for Blind and Low Vision Users | AppleVis

Apple has today released macOS 15 Sequoia to the public. As usual, we won’t cover the mainstream features here, concentrating instead on what's new and changed for blind and low vision users. Please remember to check the section about bugs to see if now is the right time to upgrade. There’s no harm in holding off a few weeks or months to let Apple address a problem you may find too disruptive to deal with.

anyone know how I can insert a marker in a reaper project while in a different window in Windows?
Did you know VoiceOver gestures that require you to tap multiple fingers multiple times don't actually require all the fingers for all the taps? Whichever tap has the most fingers tells it how many fingers to assume for the other taps. Go ahead, try it. Do a 3-finger triple tap, but for the first two taps, only use one finger. Or use 1, then 3, then 2. This doesn't actually help in any way I can think of, but it's neat just the same.
Testing the new braille screen input in iOS 18. I didn't do betas this year, so it's new to me. I really like how it can come up automatically when a text field appears.
