Hi Richard.  When the last radio station I worked for was converting to 
digital recording from analog I asked on the Broadcast forum on Compuserve if 
anyone new of any adaptation software or systems that would be friendly to 
Visually Impaired users.  These are the responses I received from Smartcaster 
Systems and I thought it might help you or anyone else interested in the same 
thing.

o
keep them running for our VI clients.  I can give you a contact at our client
site in WASHINGTON state, if you would like.  We are a protected mode DOS
application and have set up our product with two diferent systems.  If you 
call
us VOICE at 1-800-747-6278 we can get info to you right away.  We have LIVE
modes for card deck replacment all the way to MEGA satellite systems and CD 
and
Hard automation.  There is no mouse used in the system and you can add many
buttons for special tasks.  (One key to get into and record the weather cut )

Harvey,
Sorry for the delay in answering.  The SMART CASTER software is a LIVE AND
AUTOMATION package.
We allow PLUG INS from other companies to do the visual assist.  We have just
made sure that we allow these plugins room in memory and a port address from
witch to work from.
