Yes, it would be great if we could remotely connect to other Macs with speech. However, my main need is to be able to connect back to my Macs when I'm not at home. If I have to install some 3rd-party tool, that's fine. If I have to pay, that's fine. I just want to know if it can be done in any way.

I believe the tricky bit was audio and screen readers on the remote machine. Free screen sharing tools like VNC pass keyboard/mouse events to a remote machine and mirror that machine's display in a window on your machine. The systems break in two places: 1. Audio from the remote machine is often not mirrored back so whatever speech is going on there won't be audible. 2. Even if audio is mirrored back, the remote machine may not have a screen reader installed so you'll still have to slog through that process. Probably #1 is the bigger issue and I thought somebody mentioned a screen sharing package that did audio. Too bad about VNC since there is a VNC server built into OSX. Anything else or any other OS will need the screen sharing software installed on the remote box.
