Thank you Jim. So Chirp won't work with my screen reader. Ugh! Do you know of any other programs that will?
Jason, there are ways to use Chirp, though not as easily or directly. Ham Radio and Vision has a page that covers using Chirp for blind and vision impaired hams. In a nutshell, you use a spreadsheet, such as Excel or OpenOffice Calc, to enter the details, then transfer that into Chirp. Link: http://www.hamradioandvision.com/chirp-channel-editing-program/
Another option would be to use a bootable thumb drive with a live linux distribution on it, such as Puppy Linux SpeakPup (which is customized for blind and low vision users), or any other suitable distro. If you want or need help pursuing this, email me off-list at tesla@kiwigeek.com and I'll see what we can come up with.
