festival is not a linux or vinux screen reader. when you pressd control alt f1 you were then using the speakup screen reader.

Hi,
I've never tried any of this stuff with Window-eyes, but I can tell
you that with the stuff I used, I was running a instance of Linux. I
was running JAWS. The Linux I ran was called Vinux. It was set up with
the Orca screen reader. When the machine ran, Orca started talking
automatically. From there, everything was accessible. When I had a
command prompt, I think another screen reader called Festival was
running, but that's probably the wrong name. The only somewhat
negative experince with this setup was that the keys that turned the
virtual machine on and off would stick and I'd have to press them more
than once. I've never tried to do something like run Windows in a
virtual machine.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend any accessible virtual machine
software.

Thanks,

Rod
