Hello Dave,
What I've found is that the manual wasn't written with blind folks in
mind and at times seems a bit skimpy on needed steps, etc to
accomplish something. This is the main reason I end up writing out
instructions or recording audio instructions once I work out the steps
for accomplishing something on the player. After going to the manual a
couple of times in the past and coming away still not knowing how to
do something the manual was supposed to cover, I decided to just
figure things out for myself, offering free tech support, and writing
out or recording step by step directions for our customers.
The Rockbox devs are ultra smart, but it takes a certain skill set to
provide instructions from the viewpoint of not knowing how to do step
1. They're also not blind or vision-impaired, so they sometimes use
graphics to represent the button one is supposed to press, etc.
Regards,
Laz
