Looking for a Programming Project which would really benefit blind people

[Willem van der Walt<willem@top.health.gov.za>]

Hello,
Here are two ideas:
1.  Write a front-end to ecasound that make audio 
recording/mixing/production
easy for blind people.
2.  Write a batch/command-line interface to gnome wave cleaner (gwc).
    It is a program used to clean up old sound recordings.
Regards, willem
