same here.
I think some smart phone app in conjunction with the board would be a
more better solution.
ofcause if we got a device to run android or even linux then we could
in theory have things loaded on it.

My understanding is, Yamaha was asked by several blindness related

the names of buttons and switches and the company flat out said
no. I was told it was NFB doing the asking. Sense I'm not a
member, it's just hearsay. The feeling is if Apple can build
accessibility into their products, why can't Yamaha.
I understand that it sounds great on principle, however, I'm not
sure I'd like my keyboard announcing every key press I made
either. So what's your thoughts on keyboard accessibility on keyboards etc?

Hi,
How does their record on accssibility suck? :S
I think their manuals in text version, their non-wrapping menus etc
are a hell of a lot more accessible than for example the way Korg is
going with all their touch--based stuff ...I wouldn't be surprised if
Roland goes that way with their high-end keyboards , if it hasn't
already ...
