If you use a panadapter, its fairly easy to see when you have the signal
tuned in properly. I use a FLEX-1500 in panadapter mode as the sub-rx (N4PY
mod) for my TenTec OMNI-VII and slave it with DXLab Commander. I can click
on the signal with PowerSDR and the signal is tuned in. If the cost of the
FLEX-1500 is a limiting factor, single band SoftRock receivers could be
used. PowerSDR is free.

I'm thinking, tune until you see text print which is readable?

This just occurred to me: How would a deaf person tune in a SSB signal?
You can see a CW signal on the spectrum of CW Sweeper and other CW reading
programs; likewise for PSK and RTTY. But I can't imaging how you would
tune in a SSB signal without hearing it. Just lining it up within a
spectral range wouldn't work, because of differences in mics, audio
processors, propagation, speakers, etc. Since speech-to-text software
uses harmonic relationships to discriminate among sounds (I believe) being
off by more than a few Hz could keep it from working at all.
I sometimes have trouble tuning in sideband (I am hearing-impaired, but
not deaf), so if there's a way to augment the tuning process, I'd be very
interested.
