A few notes for those who haven't tried this yet:

1. The graphical (i.e., Cocoa) version of Emacs 24.3 is not accessible with
VoiceOver. I can run emacs.app, but VoiceOver only identifies the name of the
Emacs buffer. It can't access the text or the echo area of the editor window,
for example.

2. Emacs in a terminal is relatively accessible with VoiceOver. (I need this
for the benefit of my braille display, hence the interest.) My next step will
be to try to get Emacspeak to run, once I've installed the prerequisites and
dealt with any problems that arise.

3. If you're using Emacs in a terminal, you have to open the terminal
preferences, choose the keyboard tab, and select the checkbox to use the
option key as the meta key. Otherwise, pressing the option key in combination
with other keys will insert characters into your text instead of invoking
Emacs commands.
