Have you tried Orca recently (along with brltty if you also have a Braille display)? The version included in the current stable Debian 5.0 (Lenny) release is a *lot* better than any I've tried previously, and for example enables a blind user to open a terminal window and use all commands as normal, with speech and/or Braille feedback about the output from the application, as you prefer. I've never tried a screenreader under VMware, however provided it can access the audio output of the host machine, and/or a serial/USB port, I see no reason it can't work exactly as it would in a standard non-virtual environment. Hope this helps, Antony. -- If you can't find an Open Source solution for it, then it isn't a real problem.
