You obviously know way more about this field than I do. I'm a dilettante when it comes to recording in general, never mind developing a DAW. Thanks for sharing

> the correct/better answer for sight-impaired users may be non-graphical applications rather than trying to figure out to how speech-render the graphical representation.
This cuts to the heart of a long-standing debate among accessibility advocates and blind techies. It's true that tools tailored specifically for blind people can be more productive and easier to use. But they can also isolate the blind community from the sighted mainstream. For example, would a DAW developed specifically for blind people enable them to collaborate with sighted peers, or to use one-of-a-kind plugins that are developed for mainstream DAWs with a visual interface? This is why, while retrofitting accessibility onto a GUI is often suboptimal, it's necessary.
