A couple thoughts Jake.... The entry-level control surface is the Digi 003, with eight assignable faders and encoder knobs, plus some permanently assigned knobs and buttons. If you're doing smaller sessions this may be all you need..... especially if you can make use of the illuminated display that tells you what the faders are currently controlling. I haven't tested Voiceover with this setup though to know what it will indicate about the hardware status.
The more sophisticated control surfaces with a full fader panel are also a lot more expensive, and take up a lot more room. Generally these are for larger sessions, but it depends on whether you want to avoid the "layered" approach of the 003. As for ZoomText..... on the Mac the Apple version is called Zoom, part of the same Accesibility panel where you find Voiceover, but it's not nearly what ZoomText provides. Kind of like Zoom plus Voiceover begins to approach ZoomText but... not quite. I'm still learning what's available and possible, and don't have PT installed on a PC to test it yet as we're pretty much a Mac house, but.... will let you know when I get to that.
