Hi. I think what would be really cool is to have them build a radio, but instead of it being a specialized radio designed specifically for the blind, which is how this sounds, what they might be able to do is build it exactly like a regular radio ,but find some kind of a way to enable the accessibility features. These could be enabled and disabled at will, most likely through a button that is clearly marked on the radio itself or the remote, if it has one. This way, we wouldn't have to have sighted help, just to get to the features we need. so a blind person could use the unit just as readily as a sighted person could. If menus are involved, I would hope that some kind of audible clicks, or beeps, or even better, some kind of audible voice prompts could be used, making it easier to set the time on the clock, set up presets, tell what preset we're on, etc. I know a lot of radios and CD players are menu based nowadays. So if the accessibility features could be enabled and disabled, that would be a good way to do it.
