Eric,
Download Vinux which is Linux for the Visually impaired from www.vinuxproject.org
It will boot from DVD or installed on USB stick or installed alongside windows on hard drive.
I use it all the time, or about 90% of the time, Windows about 10%.
Linux does everything and much easier than Windows.

the first one is solvable by adding some accessibility features (python has some and apple published the API for voiceover). I am not a coder, so I can't tell how difficult this will be.
The detail you're probably not aware of is that CHIRP uses a cross-platform UI toolkit called GTK. This makes it invisible to screen readers on both Windows and MacOS, which only support reading for their native widgets. It works just fine on Linux, of course, but that doesn't help you.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do for you here. It's not feasible to have a volunteer-run application project that supports all three platforms' UI toolkits natively, and especially one that moves at the speed that CHIRP does.
