As an alternative, would a digital speech synthesizer be appropriate..?
Assuming that the operator's hearing is ok.. The digital add-on gizmos that
boatanchor operators use to read-out their receive frequency might be
adaptable to drive a digital speech synthesizer... Just a thought... I've
not yet tried to do this, but it might be possible...

Subject: [TenTec] Early Ten-Tec's appropriate for a blind person?
I have been contacted off the list by David, KB1HFF, about
obtaining an early Ten-Tec radio suitably adaptable for a blind
person. This would mean a radio with a frequency annunciator or
otherwise adaptable for Braille. Any suggestions?
Did/do any Ten-Tecs come with a frequency annunciator for the
blind?
I recall on the auction site someone selling a Century 22 where
they had removed the plastic plate over the string dial so one
could feel where one is with respect to each 100 kilohertz, plus
then added some braille markings to the dial knob. I presume
something similar could be done to the analog Triton's, Omni's,
early Delta, and the analog Argosy.
Other ideas? If anyone has such a modified radio, please try
contacting David directly - I can give you his e-mail address in
a direct e-mail.
Thanks.
