Hi, has anyone used a virtual Mac? This is done through a Windows PC with jaws, and you somehow you rent a virtual Mac for a couple dollars a month. If anyone has, is this accessible?
This is all too familiar. Vultr, Linode and Digital Ocean do this same thing, except they are Linux vps's. I don't see how this is any different other than it's using os10server, which would not have sound by default. What provider were you looking into?
It's very difficult getting a virtual macOS machine to work properly. There are a lot of steps and you have to modify files and do other things. If you did get it to work, you would have to use VoiceOver from within the virtual macOS system. Windows screen readers cannot interact with virtual machines.
If you want to try a Mac, I'd recommend borrowing one from a friend or family member. Alternatively, go to an Apple store and they will let you try them for as long as you like. The experience will be much better.

sounds more like an os10server vps to me
