Thank you for the information you provided. Qt actually provides some 
level of accessibility support on Windows and Mac platforms which is 
currently disabled (due to some technical and licensing issues) in the 
binary Qt builds distributed with VirtualBox. A quick research showed 
that once this support is enabled in Qt, there is a great chance that 
the screen reader you mentioned (and probably other similar devices) 
will support VirtualBox out-of-the-box.

We will invest some time in this task as soon as there are free 
resources for it.

If someone from the community knows examples of Qt applications that 
successfully work with devices like Window-Eyes, please comment here.
