You would be able to use your DOS screen reader, but that would not solve
the problem which you outline below. The reason is that the DOS emulator
emulates DOS, which necessarily means that you would be subject to the
same restrictions.
Don't give up hope, though. All you need to do is switch to a Linux screen
reader or braille display. Just load your DOS program into the DOS
emulator, and let Linux tell you what's being displayed.
