I have a person who is legally blind and what little vision he has is
distorted. No matter how large I blow up the text he needs to read, he can
not see it. We have gone so far as to try projectors but with his distorted
vision that still doesn't work.

I need to find a copy of the text that appears when you are trying to train
the voice recognition software so that I can blow it up to a massive font and
bold it so it will be high enough contrast for him to read it and memorize it.

Or if you have other suggestions, I would be happy to listen

Listen may be the answer!
If the OS is new enough, you can set it to read text aloud.
If not, there are add-on programs that will do that, as well.
I believe that both Vista and Windows 7 have text-to-speech built in.
XP may, as well, but I don't recall.
