Absolutely not. You do not need sighted assistance to install the OS; however, I think that is a bit to extreme at this point. What you should do is first go into your home folder, go to Library/Preferences/ and look for the following files and then remove them. ONce you have removed them, turn VoiceOver off and back on. com.apple.VoiceOver3 com.apple.VoiceOver3.local.plist com.apple.VoiceOver3.local.plist.5RNAc9n
You may not have the last file, but the point is you want to get rid of any VoiceOver preferences. Allow VoiceOver to rebuild these files and the other thing you want to do is be sure the sounds etc. are working before you make any changes to the preferences. As you make changes, just be aware of anything that stops working. I hope this helps you.
