On the topic of using user manuals, don't forget that the vast majority of 
them are not written for the blind community (EG: there's lots of 
translations into other languages that one must skip past, there are 
pictures we cannot reference, there is screwed up OCR, many can't be saved 
to text from PDF, etc). This of course means an added layer of 
experimentation to access the information, so I really, really appreciate 
the person who has done all the reading and experimenting and is simply 
conveying their knowledge via recorded podcast as they are showing the blind 
user that the product or process being demonstrated can be completed by a 
blind person, or at the very least they demonstrate difficulties one can 
expect--this kind of information you cannot get from a user manual primarily 
written for the sighted. For anyone who has ever typed a long explanatory 
procedure, I think he or she will agree that simply recording and 
demonstrating one's ideas is much faster and easier to do.
