Hello everyone, First, I would like to thank all people who payed attention to my first email that was connected with accessibility issues with virtualbox on windows.
Now, I would like to address an important issue. There is an issue that when using a console mode in linux guest operating systems with a speakup screen reader enabeled, audio driver in the virtual machine can close at any time. However, the virtual machine itself continues working and it is possible to interact with it using the keyboard, but there is no speech output left, so the blind user cannot interact with the console mode using a screen reader. As the great example of this issue can be the installation of text based linux distros such as Debian, archlinux, slint and others. While the accessibility installation is enabeled, the audio driver can stop working at any time and the process of installation of the system can finish for a blind user at any time, at any step. As the result, a totally blind user cannot install the operating system that uses the text installation to a virtual machine by himself and he always needs to start the process over, hoping that he can install the system next time he tries to complete the task. However, this issue doesn't appear on real hosts., only in guest operating systems Here is the issue I created on a public bug tracker with steps to reproduce and more information about the issue: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20603/ If this issue can be fixed, it will open a possibility to enter the world of linux for a lot of blind people who would like to start investigating it in the virtual machine, or for people who need to use them as server systems. Thank you all in advance! -- Best regards, Vsevolod https://github.com/sevapopov2
