You've got me wondering if I should look at emacspeak on macos. I'd like to not have to carry a second machine around to have a screen reader that works in a terminal, which Voiceover just does so horribly at. Unfortunately, getting anything running on these new arm64 macs is difficult. Any ideas for me?
I think Emacspeak can run speech servers remotely, so you might be able to run the server side over ssh on the host machine. I've never tried and I don't know how to configure it. There is a Mac OS speech server, though.
At some point, the Asahi Linux project will probably let you run Linux directly on the Apple hardware:
