How are braille displays handled when using a virtual machine under Mac OS? Can you easily change which operating system is controlling the braille display?
Also, as a side question, with either a virtual machine or Bootcamp, how is the Windows license obtained? Do you purchase it somewhere and enter a product key? I’ve read somewhere that Linux won’t run on newer Mac systems that have the T2 security chip, so having all three operating systems installed together may not be viable, unless you’re using virtual machines of course. My personal solution is to have a Lenovo laptop that runs both Windows and Linux, and a Mac that is just for Mac OS. This isn’t ideal, and I may reconsider if and when I upgrade my Mac.

I read the short article you talked about, and I am interested in learning more about how you were able to map the context menu key. Which preferences do you go into, is it the main VMWare preferences or the settings for the individual machine. Also, what key did you assign? Thanks for any help, Pete De Vasto On Dec 24, 2019, at 7:35 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, You can definitely install Boot Camp without sighted assistance and then Windows also. When you run the Boot Camp program from the Mac side, it prompts you for all the details so you can use VoiceOver. When the machine boots into Windows, you can load Narrator to finish install. In theory Narrator should start speaking with the default Mac speakers. But I will say that on at least one computer I did have to plug in a USB audio device to get speech during OS install. I keep a basic USB audio device around for these kinds of situations. I have configured three different Macs for Boot Camp. That said, I would personally go with either VMWare or Virtual Box first. I use both successfully on my Mac and am really coming to like using VMWare fusion. I dealt with the caps lock keyboard issue in that program by using their keyboard assignment feature in preferences and just assigned a different key to be my caps lock key. I wrote a bit more on that at http://theideaplace.net/a-short-update-on-virtual-machines-to-include-an-apple-mac/. I have also had good success with Boot Camp to be clear. I’m preparing for some extended travel and want to reduce the hardware I need so have been ensuring I can use both Boot Camp and virtual machines from within the Mac OS. I have to say whatever Apple did in their latest audio driver for Boot Camp under Windows is working perfectly here. Speech is back to being crisp, responsive and no dropping with several screen readers.

Can you install Boot Camp without sighted assistance and also Windows 10? I am wondering what to install, VMWare or Bootcamp if it’s accessible to do. Thank you. Kawal.

With the most recent update, the issue of missing the first syllable of speech is so far gone for me with the different screen readers. I’m not sure when the updated drivers and such were released but when I ran Windows on my Mac this morning there were updates from Apple.
