Hi Butch,
Maybe they didn't think about accessibility because QST is available through BARD for those zo can't use the Print Version.
When this platform was picked maybe no one knew the lagtime for us to get QST.
I agree about accessibility.
It would be nice if there was a phone out there which had tactile buttons and still could do things like Seri.
