In a lot of ways, the Radar should be just accessible out of the box. Not in terms that it will speak to you, but just for the fact that it has a physical control for just about every function. It isn't a full DAW, but is mainly just a multitrack digital recorder. The really popular thing about the Radar is that, because of all of the physical controls, it is also a magnificent machine for editing. I don't mean a cut and paste here and there, but, if you have a project where you must slice it up in to many tiny pieces, and reassemble all of those pieces in a different way, or manually edit timing mistakes, and you've memorized all of the shortcut commands, then you can edit at a speed that someone working with a mouse would never be able to match. Oh, if only there were a full DAW like that. However, the mind boggling amount of keyboard-based editing support from Pro Tools isn't too far away from that goal. Pro Tools keyboard support is way deeper than even highly keyboard-focused DAWs like Sonar and Logic.

Hi Frank, Yes, from what I understand, IZ Technologies has worked with a few blind individuals to make the RADAR accessible. For those who don't know, the RADAR was conceived as a replacement for analog multitrack recorders. It is widely regarded in the audio industry as being perhaps the best sounding digital recorder in terms of it's analog to digital conversion. You can contact them directly to get more information regarding accessibility.
