Tiger might help - the voice output is quite good, and the software is
shortcut key heavy. Many of the tools have soft bindings for keys, which
makes input better. My software (MOTU Digital Performer lite). There is some
interference between the assistive voice and the sound system.
Tiger was beta tested by a blind ex-student of mine, who approved.
At a guess, Logic, being apple, should be more accessible

Subject: A blind student doing Music Technology
Dear All,
We have a prospective blind student who is hoping to do Music Technology
here at TVU next year. WE have had several students do this in the past
but before my time so I'm not quite sure how they managed a few of the
potential challenges we've already spotted.
The Music Technology subject area uses Macs and uses the following
programmes:
1. Qbase
2. Logic
3. Protools.
Dose anyone know if there is a screen reader that would first of all
work with Macs and I mean at least a G4 Powerbook Mac and secondly if
anything works with the above programmes?
If not, are there any PC based programmes that will do the same thing
and if so, which screen readers would you use with these?
Looking forward to some responses.
Regards
Pauline
