well from actually being told to do it apple has actually done a
really good job.

Remember too that Apple didn't do it by choice -- they were told to do so by

There's a simple solution to this -- don't use anything that's inaccessible.

My understanding is, Yamaha was asked by several blindness related
organizations to develop a means by which blind people could hear 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 ...
