I also get this result in Window-Eyes. When I set up for a particular contest, I use the Window-Eyes "label field" hotkey to label "testfoo" as "call", then tab into the other fields for that contest and label them appropriately. I must then save this change in the SET file associated with N1MM+. If the configuration of my windows changes, this information, which is associated with screen co-ordinates, becomes invalid. When this works, it works quite well. And if it doesn't, you know that TestFoo means callsign if you are not sure which field you are in. One could put testfoo into an exception dictionary and have it say call, but I would rather try to get all the fields labeled.
I haven't had much time lately to refine N1MM+ or to give the developers more feedback, but I used it for about 15 contests since last summer.
