Les; It would be less costly to put it on the internet site and the deaf could Braille it or read it with their Braille displays. This also gives people, like me, with other problems the ability to have access to the text format.

Would it be possible to publish the tutorial in braille for deaf/blind individuals? I assume there would need to be a way of verifying that someone is deaf/blind, because I would imagine others might request this, and that could get costly. I would hope there would be an equitable method for dealing with this potential problem. Providing hard copy braille, I would think would provide equal access to information for a deaf/blind individual.

What I have been doing is publishing the audio tutorials as soon as possible, so people can get a feel for the forthcoming release. However, this goes into far more detail than the announcements about the next release that we publish, and therefore it disadvantages people who can't hear the tutorial. The information is contained in he User Guide, but of course it's generally not ready for publication when I have been putting up the audio. That is inequitable, and some way or other, we will have to correct that for the future so that the publication of the audio tutorial is synchronised with when we can publish detailed information about how to use the new features in text form. Once we do this, then the information one has access to in text is equivalent to the information one has access to in the audio tutorial.
