Hello, 

I’m not sure if this will help you, but I had all sorts of issues a few months 
ago getting Win 8.1 installed. I have a CD media disk for Windows, but I also 
download the ISO version as well. At least on the Win 8.0 side of the 
installation, there’s no speech, as you well know. I also had handy the article 
posted from Applevis on how to install Windows without sight. Even though the 
order of the screens were not in the same order explained in that article, it 
gave me the necessary keystrokes to assist in the installation process of 
Windows. In this tedious task, I also used KNFB Reader from my phone to read 
the screen, and the app BeMyEyes” to access sighted assistance. The last resort 
I used was FaceTime with an sighted AT support friend. When you get to the 
screen where you need to select the bootcamp drive (usually in the 4th position 
or arrow down 3 times), you will need to reformat the disk. The “Next” button 
is all the way in the bottom right hand corner (if memory serves), which was 
not accessible with the command ALT-N. This is where I needed the FaceTime 
sighted assistance in using the trackpad and detailed directions on when the 
mouse cursor was exactly on the button to perform a left click. I performed the 
left click from the trackpad. Once you get through this tedious and frustrating 
task, you still need to install the bootcamp drivers from your USB thumb drive. 
I hope this helps in getting your Windows 7 OS installed into bootcamp. 

Best, 
Eileen
