You might submit your question to biblesoftware AT yahoogroups.com.  I
believe one of the members as severe vision impairment (though he is not
totally blind) and has a method of using Logos with some kind of reader. 
Since the reader is a separate program, I would assume it might also work
with other programs.  Perhaps he could be of some help.

You will probably need to go to www.groups.yahoo.com and subscribe to the
group.
