This may seem an extreme answer but I know that some students at Stirling
University are using the Jaws Screenreading Software (which is specifically
designed for a Blind person to use a computer system) to assist in
combatting this problem. Jaws uses a software synthesiser to speak all
actions and this therefore enables the user to work with the monitor turned
off. Paul Amery at Stirling University would be a good contact to discuss
this approach with.
