Blind person often use a PC with a "reading software" (OT 'to read to someone' - no single word for that ?) combined with a braille display. Creating an application using the available software - simple GUI, readable by the reading software, assessable by function/cursor keys - and abstracting the K3 to their ability could be a 'solution'.
Anyone interested to start a conversation about that ? 73 de Thomas, DM7TN PS: Doesn't have to be limited to the K3 ... one GUI for many TRX ... just dreaming ;o) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Toby Pennington Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Voice Announcement I think a word of caution might be in order here. I am not sure if Elecraft will add voice announcement or not. It is a good feature and found on many rigs today. However, the K3 would not be my choice for a blind ham or a soon to be blind ham. I believe an older rig where all the knobs and buttons are for single use purpose would be a lot better. Not to mention a rig where there are not menus or not many menus might be more appropriate. I had enough trouble figuring out how to operate a K3 (especially using the menus and memory ) and I can still see. I would not know for sure what to recommend for a blind ham, but it sure would not be the K3.
