Not likely. ReactOS is far too unstable to run anything for any large 
length of time. If you really want to, you might be able to use it in a 
virtualization environment, such as VirtualPC or VMWare.

Cheers,

I'd actually recommand you to use Linux (supposing you're still on
Windows right now). I've known a blind Linux user who worked in
console mode exclusively (it's the environment that gets the closest
to the 1 line - 80 characters of a braille reader).

Hi,

ReactOS doesn't have a screenreader atm. Also I think that we might not 
have one for quite some time. A screen reader is quite high tech and atm 
we don't have the neccesarry resources to write something like that. In 
fact we even don't really have sound support yet.

Still ReactOS should support any 3rd party applications in that 
direction. At least in the future when sound support has advanced (we 
only have one developer working on that actually)
