The dialog boxes you interact with to do things like start/stop virtual
machines in virtualbox are somewhat accessible with orca. I have never
tried to create a virtual machine via the virtualbox gui though. I
always use bash scripts. Here are links to 2 of my scripts. Keep in mind
that they were both written for my own use so they are not the most user
friendly scripts in the world.
First, this script creates a virtual machine with a 32 Gb disk, 2Gb of
ram, and one cpu. It then boots from a grml iso.

Second, this script creates a vm with a 96Gb disk, 2Gb ram, and 1 cpu.
It then bootsfrom a Win7 installation iso and installs Win7 via an
answer file on a virtual floppy.
wget http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/pub/win7-64
I'm not sure how helpful that second script will be without the answer
file. There are plenty of instructions out there for creating an answer
file for Win7 but it's a lot of work. I'd share my answer file but it
has passwords in it. They're encrypted but I don't think I can put them
out there anyway.

Hi, Fernando:
I actually know this one! <grin>
If you rely on screen readers you need to rely on VirtualBox from the
command line, or from a scripted environment. The graphical interface
isn't accessible to Orca. I believe it's kde, and we still haven't
really broken through to accessibility on kde.

Thanks anyway Janina,
Back in the day, I liked the fact that VirtualBox allowed one to do a lot of
things via the command line. I imagine all of that remains available. But I
will let more experienced current users comment.
Best,
Fernando
