Technically no, but if you use VOCR you can set it up. I really like it because it has more features than VM-ware fusion. Example, you can send stuff from windows apps to mac apps. Also you don't have to install an app to share folders from your mac to the vm, because it makes the entire mac drive show up as an external drive in windows. Also it creates an alias on your desktop for your vm. You just open it and the vm starts up. And sense it's fully integrated with the mac you don't need to have the vm full screen and you can still keep VO on. A word of warning though, mac updates have a bad habbit of breaking the colonel extension for Parallels which if you have it set to start with MAC OS you will get a boot loop and have to go into safe mode, which still isn't accessible because Apple won't inable the audio system in safe mode.

Hi. I had a bad experience with this. At times, both screen readers would read things on the opposite OS. For example, Jaws would read what was happening on Mac and Voiceover would read what was happening on Windows. Along with other issues, I stopped using this. I would suggest using a different way of using both Mac and Windows on one device.
