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.
