        "content": "Here\u2019s a clear breakdown of how to activate **Supertone Clear** in Reaper using JAWS (or NVDA)\u2014and how to reduce the hiss (trial-mode noise) that shows up every 60 seconds:\n\n---\n\n## 1. How Supertone Clear Activation Works\n\n- When you first use Clear, it operates in *trial mode*. In trial mode, it plays **noise every 60 seconds** and certain features like saving profiles are disabled. ([supertone.ai](https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear?utm_source=openai))  \n- To stop the noise and fully unlock the plugin, you must **activate it** with a license. There are two options:\n  1. Enter a license key inside the plugin. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/8657667733775-How-do-I-activate-my-plug-in?utm_source=openai))  \n  2. Use \u201cActivate in Browser\u201d to download a license file (with extensions like `.clearlicense` or `.airlicense`), then load that file into the plugin. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/8657667733775-How-do-I-activate-my-plug-in?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 2. Steps to Activate in Reaper\n\nHere are the usual steps to activate, assuming plugin is already installed in Reaper:\n\n1. Insert **Supertone Clear** onto a track in Reaper.\n2. Open the plugin\u2019s FX window.\n3. Find the **menu** in the top-right part of the plugin window and select the **Activation** tab. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/8657667733775-How-do-I-activate-my-plug-in?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Either:\n   - Choose **\u201cEnter License Key\u201d** and paste/type your key.\n   - Or choose **\u201cActivate in Browser\u201d**, follow the link, download the license file, then in the plugin load that file. ([web.supertone.ai](https://web.supertone.ai/license/clear?deviceId=565e3a207968a3767ba5742ca04285ee&deviceName=LAPTOP-MRLD9P58&utm_source=openai))  \n\nOnce done correctly, the \u201ctrial noise\u201d (hiss every 60 seconds) should stop. The \u201cTRIAL\u201d badge in the plugin GUI will disappear. ([supertone.ai](https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 3. Accessibility Tips with JAWS (or NVDA)\n\nIf you're using JAWS and having trouble seeing or hearing the activation UI, here are tips that may help:\n\n- Use **OSARA** (if installed) to see FX parameters in a list. OSARA helps screen reader users access plugin parameters and UI elements in a structured way. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In the FX window, try using the **Tab** key to move through controls. Sometimes the activation controls (like \u201cEnter License Key\u201d edit box, Activate button, or \u201cLoad license file\u201d) are a few tabs deep.\n- Use **Shift + Tab** to move backwards if you go too far. Use the **Enter** key to activate buttons.\n- Use screen reader\u2019s **object navigator** or similar feature: search for terms like \u201cActivate\u201d, \u201cLicense\u201d, \u201cTrial\u201d, \u201cBrowser\u201d, \u201cLoad file\u201d in the plugin fx window.\n- If you cannot see or sense the \u201cmenu\u201d button at top-right of plugin window, sometimes it\u2019s labeled \u201cMore\u201d, \u201c\u2261\u201d, or a gear icon. JAWS might read it as \u201cMenu\u201d, \u201cOptions\u201d, or maybe just \u201cButton\u201d.\n\n---\n\n## 4. Why \u201cOCR\u201d (Layered Caps Lock + Space, O, etc.) Isn\u2019t Working\n\n- OCR commands in JAWS are for reading UI that is graphical and not otherwise exposed (basically takes a screenshot and reads it). But plugin GUIs are often drawn in ways where objects aren\u2019t fully accessible even to OCR. So OCR may read something, but you may not be able to interact with what it reads.  \n- Also, \u201cLayered Caps Lock + Space, O\u201d etc only work if the GUI is visible and you are over the correct window. Sometimes plugin windows are off-screen or layered behind another window.\n\n---\n\n## 5. What to Try Next\n\nHere\u2019s what you can do step-by-step right now:\n\n- Open Reaper, load Supertone Clear on a track, open its FX window.  \n- Use **Tab** and **Arrow** keys to move around the plugin UI. Try to find a button or edit field near the top that sounds like \u201cMenu\u201d or \u201cActivation\u201d.\n- Once you find an edit field for license, paste the license key from your email. Then find and activate the \u201cActivate\u201d button.\n- If you already used browser to get a license file, then find \u201cLoad License File\u201d in the plugin UI (maybe under Activation) and load the `.clearlicense` file.\n\nIf none of that works because UI seems inaccessible, you might try:\n\n- Reaper\u2019s **FX Parameters view** via OSARA or ReaperAccess. That may list the \u201cActivation / License Key / Load file\u201d items as parameters.\n- Contact Supertone support and ask for accessible activation help. They may have specific procedures for screen reader users. The support article \u201cHow do I activate my plug-in?\u201d likely has directions. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/8657667733775-How-do-I-activate-my-plug-in?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to find *keyboard-only binding* or *specific steps with JAWS* (including where in menu hierarchy the menu button is announced) which might make this even smoother. Do you want me to pull those for you?"

They\u2019re a mix of trial-and-error and feedback\u2014some worked, some didn\u2019t\u2014but one of these *may* work for you.\n\n---\n\n## Key Facts & What We Know\n\n- Supertone Clear in trial mode behaves with noise every 60 seconds until activation. ([supertone.ai](https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear?utm_source=openai))  \n- Activation on the website is done via license key input \u2192 activation \u2192 download of license file \u2192 loading that file in the plugin. ([web.supertone.ai](https://web.supertone.ai/license/clear?deviceId=565e3a207968a3767ba5742ca04285ee&deviceName=LAPTOP-MRLD9P58&utm_source=openai))  \n- Many users report the \u201cActivate\u201d UI element is hard to find in Reaper with accessibility tools. ([groups.io](https://groups.io/g/rwp/topics?after=1699478474160531229&page=194&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What Others Have Done to Activate Without Seeing the \u201cActivate\u201d Button\n\nHere are strategies others used. Possibly one will match your setup.\n\n1. **Use Reaper\u2019s FX item menu for \u201cSend all keyboard input to plugin\u201d**\n\n   - Load Supertone Clear on a track.\n   - Open the FX chain window (where the plugin is loaded).\n   - In the FX window's title bar, open the *context menu* (often by pressing the **right-click** on the FX name or \u201cFX\u201d tab).  \n   - From there, enable \u201cSend all keyboard input to plugin.\u201d This sometimes lets tabbing work inside plugin UI.  \n   - Then **Tab** many times; sometimes the \u201cFX active\u201d checkbox (not disabling plugin) needs to be checked first. ([groups.io](https://groups.io/g/rwp/topics?after=1699478474160531229&page=194&utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Use Reaper + JAWS Specimen: Object Navigator / OCR workarounds**\n\n   - Use JAWS\u2019s *Object Navigator* (or NVDA\u2019s object navigation) to search inside the plugin window for a control that sounds like \u201cactivate\u201d or \u201clicense\u201d.\n   - Sometimes community advised pressing **OCR** (Layered Caps Lock + Space, then O) **after** selecting or focusing the plugin window, to find hidden buttons. It doesn\u2019t always fully allow interaction, but sometimes you can find the edit field where you can paste the license key. ([groups.io](https://groups.io/g/rwp/topics?after=1699478474160531229&page=194&utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Locate and load the license file (\u201c.clearlicense\u201d) directly inside the plugin**\n\n   - After activating via the website and downloading the license file, you need to load it in the plugin.\n   - That \u201cLoad License File\u201d option is often under the same \u201cActivation\u201d screen or within a submenu. Finding it with Tab or object nav is tricky, but it's usually present. ([web.supertone.ai](https://web.supertone.ai/license/clear?deviceId=565e3a207968a3767ba5742ca04285ee&deviceName=LAPTOP-MRLD9P58&utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Use a different DAW briefly, or plugin host that has more accessible UI**\n\n   - Some users say they managed to activate it in simpler hosts like Audacity or others that exposed the activate key field more easily. Then the plugin stays activated across all DAWs, including Reaper. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/newplugindeals/comments/17pzj1s/supertone_supertone_has_released_clear_voice/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Step-by-Step Try These Now\n\nHere\u2019s a guided attempt with your tools:\n\n1. Load Supertone Clear on a track.\n2. Open its plugin window (FX Window).\n3. Right-click on the FX slot name (or the top bar of the plugin) \u2192 try to find \u201cSend all keyboard input to plugin\u201d.\n   - Sometimes you may need to use **Shift + Tab** or **Tab** and listen for JAWS announcing a menu item like \u201cSend all keyboard input to plugin\u201d.\n4. Once checked, inside the plugin window, keep pressing **Tab** many times\u2014listen for anything like \u201cText\u201d, \u201cEdit\u201d, \u201cInput field\u201d, \u201cLicense\u201d, \u201cActivate\u201d.\n5. If you find something editable, paste (Ctrl + V) your license key there.\n6. After pasting, try **Enter** or **Space** on anything that sounds like a button near that field.\n7. If still nothing, try opening a different DAW or plugin host, load Clear, and look for activation screen there; some users managed activation outside Reaper and it stuck.\n\n---\n\n## If Nothing of the Above Works\n\nIf all the steps above fail and you *still* cannot locate or interact with the activation UI, here\u2019s what to do next:\n\n- Reach out to **Supertone / Antinode Audio support** explaining that GUI elements are not accessible for JAWS users. They may provide a fully keyboard-friendly activation path.\n- Ask them if they can give you the **parameter names** used in the plugin (\u201cActivate\u201d, \u201cActivate-button\u201d, \u201cLicense-Field\u201d, etc.) so you can search inside JAWS\u2019s object navigator.\n- They might send you a fully activated license file that automatically unlocks without needing to press a button inside the plugin.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to find a *keyboard-only transcript* of the plugin\u2019s activation UI (what control names are announced with JAWS) so you know exactly what to listen for. Would you like me to get that?"

The issue is figuring out *how* to move from \u201cTrial Mode\u201d into \u201cActivate\u201d\u2014meaning, to reveal and press the hidden Activate/License field\u2014even though it isn\u2019t visible to your screen reader.  \n\nHere\u2019s a refined method many users have used that *may* help you click the \u201cActivate\u201d button even if it\u2019s not visible:\n\n---\n\n## What Community Users Suggest\n\nAccording to someone who used NVDA (similar to JAWS) with Supertone Clear in Reaper, they used this sequence:  \n\n- Load the plugin on a track.  \n- In the FX (plugin) window, use **\u201cSend all keyboard input to plugin\u201d** from the plugin FX slot\u2019s context menu.  \n- Make sure the plugin is \u201cactive\u201d (there\u2019s a checkbox \u201cFX active\u201d or similar).  \n- Use object navigation or OCR to locate something that is read as **\u201cEco Mode\u201d** (it\u2019s one of the first UI items in the plugin). Press **Enter** when focused on that.  \n- After hitting Eco Mode, you might get a sub-menu where you can again OCR and find \u201cActivate\u201d or \u201cLicense\u201d. Press Enter on that menu item.  \n- Then try to find the edit field (likely labelled \u201cLicense Key\u201d or similar) near that.  \n- Paste your key (Ctrl+V). Then press Enter or Space on whatever seems like a button or area right next to it, which will likely be \u201cActivate\u201d or similar. ([groups.io](https://groups.io/g/rwp/topics?after=1699478474160531229&page=194&utm_source=openai))\n\nSo, they used **Eco Mode** as a portal or anchor point to get into the deeper menu where activation controls are hidden.  \n\n---\n\n## Why \u201cActivate\u201d Button Isn\u2019t Easily Found\n\n- The plugin UI is custom-drawn and not fully exposed through standard controls. Buttons may lack standard labels or object roles.\n- Sometimes activation functions are hidden in menus only shown on mouse-hover or nonstandard UI elements.\n- Screen readers may report \u201cNew\u201d, \u201cButton\u201d, or \u201cUnlabeled\u201d for some controls, making them hard to identify just by name.\n\n---\n\n## Step-by-Step Try This\n\nHere\u2019s what to try right now using JAWS + Reaper, based on community success stories:\n\n1. Open Reaper, load Supertone Clear on a track.  \n2. Open its FX plugin window.  \n3. In the FX window toolbar (usually over the plugin name box), **right-click** (or keyboard equivalent) to open a context menu.  \n   - If you hear \u201cSend all keyboard input to plugin,\u201d select that.  \n4. Locate the \u201cFX active\u201d checkbox (this may be done by tabbing or by using object navigator / exploring the plugin window). Ensure it's **checked** (plugin must be turned on).  \n5. Use object navigation (JAWS\u2019 Object Nav) or OCR again, navigate to \u201cEco Mode\u201d (should be one of the first items). When you locate \u201cEco Mode,\u201d press **Enter** to try to open any sub-menu if one appears.  \n6. After entering that, try OCR or object nav again\u2014search for \u201cActivate\u201d or \u201cLicense Key\u201d or similar terms.  \n7. When you find what sounds like an edit field (text input), place the cursor there, paste your license key (Ctrl+V), then search for a button (possibly \u201cActivate\u201d) to your left/right of the field.  \n8. Press **Enter** or **Space** on it.\n\n---\n\n## Alternate Option If UI Remains Inaccessible\n\nIf all of the above don\u2019t reveal or let you activate:\n\n- Copy your `.clearlicense` file from your computer (if you have it already). Sometimes just placing it in the default Supertone license folder *automatically unlocks* the plugin. (Not always, but users report it worked on some computers.)  \n- Try activating the plugin *in a different host* (DAW or plugin host) that might have better UI exposure; once activated there, Reaper may respect it.  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to map out exactly what JAWS announces in the Supertone Clear activation UI (what control names appear in order), so you can know exactly what to listen for. Do you want me to get that for you?"

Here\u2019s how to use it, and some tips to make it more effective when working with inaccessible plugin GUIs.\n\n---\n\n## How to Use the JAWS Find Command\n\n- The shortcut to open the JAWS Find dialog is **INSERT + CTRL + F** (desktop layout) or **CAPS LOCK + CTRL + F** (laptop layout). ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-keyboard.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- After pressing that, type in the word or phrase you want to locate (for example, \u201cActivate\u201d or \u201cLicense\u201d) and press Enter. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/SurfsUp/13-JAWSFind.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n- To find the next occurrence of that text, press **F3**. To go backwards (i.e. the previous match), press **SHIFT + F3**. ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/training/jaws/hotkeys/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## When It Works \u2014 and When It Doesn\u2019t\n\nJAWS Find works best when the text you're looking for is \"visible text\" in an application, or in places where JAWS can see all the UI elements (not hidden behind graphics or custom UI elements). ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/support/technicalsupport/bulletin/430?utm_source=openai))\n\nIf the UI control is invisible to JAWS (e.g. custom-drawn, or missing accessibility labels), then:\n\n- The Find command might **not** locate \u201cActivate\u201d if the button is completely invisible or rendered without accessible text in the UI  \n- You might get \u201cSearch string not found\u201d even though you saw it with OCR. That\u2019s because OCR captures text visually, but doesn\u2019t always tie it to an actual accessible control that JAWS can activate or click. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/support/technicalsupport/bulletin/430?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to Try It to Click Activate\n\nHere\u2019s what to do right now with the Find command to try to get to the hidden \u201cActivate\u201d control:\n\n1. Make sure the plugin window is focused and as much of it is visible as possible. If it\u2019s small or clipped, maximize it first.  \n2. Press **INSERT + CTRL + F** (or CAPS LOCK + CTRL + F) to open JAWS Find.  \n3. Type **Activate** (without quotes) and press Enter.  \n4. Listen to what you hear \u2014 JAWS should read a part of the UI that contains \u201cActivate\u201d, or read the name of the control.  \n5. Once Find lands on \u201cActivate\u201d, try pressing **ENTER** or **SPACE** \u2014 one of them is likely to \"click\" the control if it is a button.  \n6. If that doesn\u2019t do anything, try pressing **TAB** or **SHIFT + TAB** around the focused control, then pressing ENTER or SPACE. Sometimes buttons respond to those once focused.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through using Find *right now* step-by-step with Supertone Clear, with what JAWS should say at each step. Do you want me to give you that?"
