Hi Jonathan; I think KC and other deaf blind users are looking for a text version of the tutorial. A lot can be learned from the tutorial and they need access to it too, even though it is in written format. An audio tutorial is the best for learning, but since they can not use it, you need to give them the equivalent. You could put it on your site and all could use it. Terry Powers

What it is realistic to expect is that we will make the same information available by other means that are accessible to Deaf Blind people, and this is already happening. So I'm at a loss to understand what precisely the problem is. We have no way of knowing when we ship a product that is all boxed up, whether the customer receiving it is Deaf Blind or not. So if the audio material isn't useful, it can be ignored. All the same information is in the User Guide on board the unit.

However, I'm on a several Listserves with folks who are deaf-blind. More than a few are Bn users. Perhapsyou should be aware there is a general sense of dismay at the fact HW offers a tutorial on CD rom that is audio only. I mention this, because you indicate here that you are mindful of the needs of consumers who are deaf-blind.
