Hi, Not wanting to state the obvious but you will need to install your screen reader of choice within the Windows environment, be it a dual boot under Bootcamp or a virtual machine under VMware Fusion. I know there was historically some problems in getting Jaws to work properly under Fusion because of the jaws key not always being recognised, not sure if this is still a concern or if it also applies to Window Eyes or other Windows screen readers.
I will say though as someone who fought with various dual and multi-boot setups for years I am a huge fan of virtualisation -- use it heavily on a Windows platform -- and would never want to go back.
