Efficiently using terminal with screenreader

[Reece O'Bryan]

Just to confirm, I’m going to need a serial adapter to plug in to my USB hub connected to my MacBook, then connect a hardware synthesizer to the cereal. Doing it this way would I be able to use the hardware synthesizer inside of virtualBox running Debian and Speakup? I assume that it should in theory, but if not because of the virtualization, then plan B is doing the exact same thing while booting from something like Ubuntu on the USB.

Thank you,
