[Elecraft] Voice Announcement

[Thomas Norff]

Blind person often use a PC with a "reading software" (OT 'to read to
someone' - no single word for that ?)
combined with a braille display.
Creating an application using the available software - simple GUI, readable
by the reading software, assessable by function/cursor keys - and
abstracting the K3 to their ability could be a 'solution'.

Anyone interested to start a conversation about that ?

PS: Doesn't have to be limited to the K3 ... one GUI for many TRX ... just
dreaming  ;o)

I think a word of caution might be in order here.  I am not sure if Elecraft
will add voice announcement or not.   It is a good feature and found on many
rigs today.  

However,  the K3 would not be my choice for a blind ham or a soon to be
blind ham.   I believe an older rig where all the knobs and buttons are for
single use purpose would be a lot better.  Not to mention a rig where there
are not menus or not many menus might be more appropriate.   

I had enough trouble figuring out how to operate a K3 (especially using the
menus and memory ) and I can still see.  

I would not know for sure what to recommend for a blind ham,   but it sure
would not be the K3.
