Universal Control, Sidecar, and Voiceover

So, I was just wondering how well, if at all things like universal control and sidecar work with voiceover. Do these features work at all?
One thing I would love to see if it's not available in some way, shape or form, would be the ability to use Braille Screen Input to enter text on the mac. While not ideal in all situations, it might be a nice backup should keys start to fail on the butterfly keyboard. My 2018 macbook air comes in today, and I'm so excited, but still a bit nervous about the butterfly keyboard.

Brian, it's in, and it's fantastic. Obviously no m1 performance here, but it's so thin and light. The 2012 was not all that thick but compared to this one it's downright chunky! I was fortunate enough to get one in pretty good condition. I can't feel any dents or scratches. Could there be some kind of mark or damage? Maybe, but nothing I can feel. The butterfly keyboard is as described, yet still different than what I had in my head, if that makes any sense at all. Now just waiting for Ventura to install. Could be a bit.
Oliver, yes, you are right, but it would be pretty cool if one could do this and then interact with that window like any other app on the ipad. I can see how that could be really hard to imprlement, but it was worth asking.

If I ever pick up a new Mac, I will have to stay within the Intel-based line of choices. I refuse to buy 2 separate computers when Macs run Windows better than they run their own operating systems. Would absolutely love to get my hands on one of the MBPs with a dedicated graphics card. It won't be a major powerhouse in terms of gaming, but would suit my needs I think. 😈
