Was the tutorial done just on the fly, or was there a script?
If there was a script; perhaps that could be provided as a txt file?
Or, if there was a script, which was a jump off point rather than a
word-for-word script; perhaps it could be provided to use with the audio
tutorial for someone to transcribe a full text tutorial.  This seems to me
to be a truly basic accessibility issue for deaf-blind users.
 
If the manual was truly all that was needed, there should not be an audio
tutorial.

Hi all.  I figured I'd chime in.  Awhile ago I had offered to transcribe
thechats for the gps room.  I bit off mthan I could chew and my schooling is
taking quite a bit of engery from me.  
If I had more time I'd be willing to transcribe the tutorials into an
electronic format useable by deaf blind users.  I don't think I'd be able to
start this week because I have a 5-page paper due on Wednesday, but perhaps
next week I could start.  I believe Leslie is correct.  In listening to the
tutorials I was able to gain so much more.  I also used the manual, but
found the tutorials useful.  Take care!
Hope and Beignet
