There is the SW Tone option to aid visually impaired people, and others, know when something is turned on, or off, by it's tones.  Also, I understand there is Elecraft software that speaks from a computer as controls are used. I think your f/w and s/w are excellent.

They can't tell when I release it unless I say 'over'.  I optioned CW+SSB, but I often forget to tap the paddle when I'm done talking.
