You've got me wondering if I should look at emacspeak on macos. I'd like to not
have to carry a second machine around to have a screen reader that works in a

anything running on these new arm64 macs is difficult.
Any ideas for me?
I think Emacspeak can run speech servers remotely, so you might be able
to run the server side over ssh on the host machine. I've never tried
and I don't know how to configure it. There is a Mac OS speech server,
though.
At some point, the Asahi Linux project will probably let you run Linux
directly on the Apple hardware:

That's fine as long as you don't need to switch operating systems too
often. I also have one of those Apple machines, but I don't have a
temptation to run virtualized operating systems on it, so I haven't been
in your situation.
