I'm Not sure why you think I am knowledgeable about this Alan as I have 
never owned a Flex radio. I did briefly play with one of the cheaper SDR 
receivers and the software applications for it were in fact graphical 
and not accessible.  I don't think it would be worth the effort it would 
require to make one of these radios work for blind users    when there 
are already other options out there that are pretty much comparable. I 
agree the higher end features of the new Flex rigs are pretty cool, but 
it would be difficult to translate those advanced graphical features 
effectively or efficiently into some sort of speech output.

   For what it's worth, that's my opinion.
