Hi Eileen, If you’re talking about the Win8PE project that includes NVDA and thus can be used as a talking installer, that definitely can work with 64-BIT machines as well.
Now, that’s not to say that it will work on a Mac, as there are other issues to be aware of, for example, a lack of audio drivers. Your only option would be to purchase a USB headset or sound card and try to get audio working that way. I have no idea whether this would be feasible as I’ve simply never tried. But the fact that you have a 64-BIT machine should not stop you from using a talking installer.

I know there has been some discussion about using a talking installer, but it's only for a 32 bit machine. Regarding the JAWS license, if you are out of authorization keys, you can contact Freedom Scientific and they will load more into your account. I can't speak in regards to VM Fusion because I have only BootCamp my machine once and will probably go that route again. HTH.
