I am totally blind and am beginning to use the DP24SD (the SD designation is critical). Tascam has apparently fixed a few things which help us: The menus which I have used do not wrap; The ones I have used appear to always startthe user at the same place when activated (I emphasize "that I have used" because I have used only a few of them). I would say that any blind person attempting to run this unit should for sure have a copy of the full user manual AND A LIGHT PROBE which can be pointed narrowly at a particular button. There are some tricks you must learn from the manual. The "Auto Punch" isn't quite as straightforward as I had on my Fostex MR8-HD; but I have learned it and can use it very effectively. Lest I bore many users, I'll just say that I will elaborate to the extent of my knowledge according to any interest I see here. For one thing, I have a rather detailed description of the names and locations of the buttons, knobs, and jacks on the top and back panels. This unit has a very good complement of REAL knobs and buttons. I relish the challenge of learning this machine and producing recordings on it. My Fostex was showing its age, so I needed a replacement machine. I can tell anyone where I bought my unit if it is appropriate, but I'm new and don't want to violate forum rules.
