Thanks to all who advised by private message. My friend will investigate the various suggestions for contesting aids, etc.

I'm encouraging a fellow ham to try contesting.   This ham is excellent with 
CW, does fine with SSB, etc., but has been totally without  singht since early 
childhood.

The major difficulty is logging.  The logging software I use and recommended (N1MM) 
"Isn't friendly to the sightless" according to my friend, who requires a screen 
reader to be sure the log entries are correct.   This op generally uses Braille for 
logging, but it's hard to keep up in a contest.

I haven't asked "why?" but the graphics, and text all over the place on N1MM's 
screen might be the problem.

If this forum cannot help, perhaps someone could tell me where to go to find 
such information?

Private responses seem most appropriate.
