I'm certainly not qualifed to say for sure...but it seems like when you get to the complex deep editing it would not matter to the seeing impaired if it is touch screen or lots of button pushes?

So, I hope ALL Mfgs do keep the seeing impaired in mind and provide an easy button oriented interface. Whether they do the programmig stuff using a touch screen or buttons may not matter?

It seems it would be nice for the deep editing stuff to pull the data to a PC where you could use tools that help the seeing impaired to do editing...then push the changes out? I know some of this is being done already.
Also, maybe some day a phone jack for earphone (earbud)for audio feedback of button pushes and even screen navigation?

What do you think?

Without audio feedback, how would I know where on the screen to touch? OK, from the top left corner, move your finger down y millimeters and across x millimeters and press and hopefully you wil have guessed properly the correct spot to touch on a smooth surface? Nope. Much easier to remember a sequence of button presses, where you can actually feel what you're doing. As far as computer interface, that would be fine as long as the designers built the gui with accessible keystrokes. Usually these things are so mouse dependant there is no accessible method for blind users. Kontakt instruments for example, forget it. I'm surely not one for stopping progress, but it's gonna be a bugger if more and more stuff starts going the way of the touch screen.
