Running Windows Apps on MacOS

Hi all
I am looking for ways to run Windows apps on MacOS. I tried CrossOver and it is inaccessible. Wine is no longer an option on the mac. What are some other accessible ways to run Windows apps, far from virtualisation.
TIA

It is Bookworm. Nothing is comparable to it on the mac. Speech Central is a joke in comparison to QRead or Bookworm.

This script will allow you to install a wine prefix with speech support. It installs the speech SDK, which contains the SAPI DLL, the microsoft TTS engine, and the RHVoice BDL voice. Since the speech SDK is 32-bit only, the generated prefix is also 32-bit. Since screen reader support is not yet possible in wine, this prefix is only useful for audio games or self voicing applications which use SAPI as a speech method. Since most of these applications are 32-bit only, the lack of 64-bit support is not currently considered an issue.

Crossover works fine… Or at least it did a couple years ago, heck, there’s even a guide for it on here.
