I like that WindowEyes idea for doing it.

Only an internal spell checker could accomplish this automatically and 
consistently. If you're working in an application with a spell checker, you 
could add the accented words to its dictionary.

This definitely makes sense. Insert+4 will open a dialogue of symbols you can 
insert; these include grave and acute accents, the Spanish N with tilde and 
other assorted symbols. However, the symbol must be selected either using the 
arrow keys or by typing the first letter.
By contrast, Window-eyes had a Word Accent app where a hotkey could be assigned 
to each accent type, followed by the letter to be accented. This is much more 
efficient than navigating a list for every accented letter.
