That’s a bit of yes and no. Yes it is useable if you are using OSX Yosemite or elcapitan with the vb version 5 upwards, But before that voiceover will crash when you move to the VM application.
I have to use this on a daily basis for work and I find if I need to flick backwards and forward I have to keep turning vo on because it’s crashed due to us using VB 4.3.x which allows me to use a Jaws USB authorisation key Vb version 5 wouldn’t pick up on the USB device for some reason, This may be fixed now but I haven’t tried to findout Hope this helps.

From the very little bit of research that I’ve done on this issue previously it was thought that virtual box is completely unusable with voiceover, this is still the conventional wisdom?

One thing I had excellent luck with was Ubuntu under vmware fusion. You can install it and boot with speech and you pretty much use the normal image creation tool, select the image, enter the type of Linux and give it a few minutes to build a VM. That might be something to try. On Jul 1, 2016, at 7:02 AM, Devin Prater <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all. So on my path to learning Linux stuff, I’ve gotten Emacspeak to work with the help of Twitter folks, but now wanna see if Linux will be useful to me as a whole. I’ve gotten Fedora working, sort of, but there aren’t any blind-specific packages that I see on other Linux lists, so I now turn to Sonar. I’ve had VmWare Fusion for a while now, but using Sonar with it just fails after installation, nothing happens. So I got Virtual Box in order to play with an Android talking virtual machine, which stopped talking after updating talkback, and found that besides freezes, probably from it being Android, ported to x86 architecture, it ran pretty quickly and responsively, unlike VmWare unless you tweet settings in VMX files. So, are there any tips for more easily using Virtual Box, like adding iOS files to virtual machines and running them, when I tried it didn’t work, or anyone that has a Sonar Virtual machine that works in Virtual box, or VmWare somehow?
