I used N1MM Logger with Window-Eyes during both Sweepstakes and the CQ CW DX
contests this fall.  Because it is written in Visual Basic, you would expect
it to use standard controls and not be problematic.  I would advise you to
download a copy and play with it at home rather than in the heat of a
contest.  I think that if I had a sighted user look at the screen while I
tried to configure Window-Eyes, I would be further ahead.  The program uses
a large number of windows, although they don't all have to be open.  I don't
think it generates any audio warnings, assuming that you will be using your
sound card for radio-related purposes.  I sometimes typed stuff in the wrong
edit boxes, with the result that I would have something wrong with a QSO I
had logged, but not get an alert from Window-Eyes that the program needed
attention.  

So, in summary, I think this program can be used, but you will need to work
with it some.  I don't expect to go back to using CT for DOS, which was my
logging software in the past.
