John, Go to www.blindcooltech.com and search that page for zoom h2. You will find some excellent podcasts on that recorder that were done by Neal Euers who is an audio engineer and is blind himself. Accessibility is sometimes in the eyes of the beholder, but after listening to Neal's podcasts, you can draw your own conclusion and also get a very good idea of what the recorder sounds like with different microphones.
Also keep in mind that the DS50 and the Zoom H2 really serve 2 different purposes. The DS50 is a very accessible and small pocket recorder really meant for taking notes or doing dictation. The Zoom H2 is really for doing some serious recording, where sound quality is your top priority. I have both a DS50 and an Edirol R09 and use them for totally different things, so to me, comparing them is like apples and oranges.

Does anyone use the Zoom H2 recorder? If so, is it useable by a totally blind person, or should I just go for the Olympus DS50 again? The thing that's attracting me to the H2 is the mike quality, and I'd rather not get one until I know if it's useable.
