[CQ-Contest] A query: looking for user-friendly contest logging software for the blind

[Henderson, Dan N1ND]

Hi all:

Tom Behler, KB8TYJ, recently contacted me and asked for help.  I passed on what I knew and suggested that some of you good folks might have an idea or two.  You can contact Tom directly with your ideas.  Thanks!

Hi, Dan.

Here's my message for posting to the CQ contest reflector.

Thanks much for taking the trouble to do this.

I'll keep you informed on what I find out.

"I am a blind ham, and my call is KB8TYJ.  I probably could best be
described as a casual contester, but am now interested enough in contesting
to start pursuing available user-friendly contest logging software for the
blind.
 Are there any contest logging programs that have been successfully used by
blind hams with the JAWS for Windows screen reading software?  I currently
use JAWS 3.7 with windows 98 Second edition.  I am not a computer wizzard,
but if someone can send me a demo of some software to try, with some
easy-to-follow
installation and configuration instructions, I'd be willing to give it a
shot.
Any help would be most appreciated.  Please direct any responses to my
arrl.net e-mail address listed below.

Thanks, and vy best 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ, Big Rapids, MI
