Using the touch screen on the IC-7300 is a real chore for the visually impaired. Afterall, there is nothing to feel other than a smooth screen! wfview solves this problem entirely. A Raspberry Pi, set to run wfview full screen on boot (note, no real screen need be actually attached), enables a standard keyboard to fully control the IC-7300. Commands are available to trigger the IC-7300's built-in speech synthesizer. Future plans include a software speech synthesizer on the computer to speak more operations.
**What about touch screens?**
Just as wfview works great with a keyboard only, wfview is a real pleasure to use with a touch screen. All the UI elements work great with a touch screen and most of them scale with screen resolution. A small 7" screen on a Raspberry Pi makes a great controller for the IC-7300.
**Does wfview work with other radios?**
At this time, only the IC-7300 is supported. However, most Icom radios share the same commands for many common functions. If you change your CI-V address to be the same as the 7300, there is a good chance that many of the functions will work. The spectrum view, however, is probably unique to the 7300. Currently it is programmed for 160-pixels wide. This might be extended to support the IC-9700 and IC-7610, however those radios also include a high-speed ethernet port which would make the waterfall display significantly faster (but also require additional work to wfview's code).
