    Wow, that sucks. I am not aware of anything like that, but hopefully someone else has something to contribute in this direction.

    Sorry to hear that, I was just thinking about that today could I be a DJ if I went blind… actually there is a software algoriddim’s DJAY software has a voiceover option for the blind to use, the only problem is the voice over instructions come out over the master audio and people were complaining if it only came out through cue then it could actually be used professionally, this was a year ago or more so maybe they have fixed it, djay 2 is 5 to 10 dollars Djay pro is 10 to 50 dollars all depends for which machine you buy and sometimes on sale ,I got djay 2 for ipad and iphone for free on one of their sales / promotions

    The other thing I would think for blind dj’s is to use cd players with mp3 cds and more or less remember your playlists or a stand alone media player or controller that can play usb drives but doesnt have a fancy screen or too many menu options so you can operate it by controls and buttons which would be easy once you memorize the placement, you can use one of those label machines that have embossed letters or braile on the usb drives or cd cases to identify which is which , denon s1200 Cdj 400 cdj 850 can play cds and usb drives and controls are mostly mechanical and dont really need to look at the screen to operate

    I have seen a video of a guy with no arms and he djs with cds and I think it was cdj 200 or 100, and there was a movie about a dj that was deaf and would beatmatch by feeling the speakers with his feet, dj ing blind is possible because you mostly have to rely on your ears, but going the computer, software, and visual screen route might be too much trouble or just plain impossible, but on some slightly older equipment that you dont need to rely on the screens you can definitely do it !
