Dear Alok, Here are your answers: 1. Your mail mentions that feature for remote desktop clients and citrix clients could be purchased. Is this in addition to JAWS license cost? Yes Freedom Scientific charge Rs.12400 for this facility.
2. Can this feature / service be purchased for an already installed older version of JAWS, for example, version 13 or 14? Yes you can. 3. Is any installation needed on the remote computer / server that we connect to through remote desktop for this JAWS feature to work? Yes you need to install a demo of Jaws Pro but of the same version you are using and also the same voice synthesizer like Eloquence or Sangeeta or Veena etc. In case you require any further information or clarification, please contact us and we shall be glad to provide the same. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Subject: Re: [AI] Jaws V16 beta released! Dear Mr. Ram, One of the features mentioned in your mail is a real and urgent need for me. Would like to clarify a couple of points regarding it. I need to work on several Windows based production servers using remote desktop. And JAWS does not work for remote desktop. 1. Your mail mentions that feature for remote desktop clients and citrix clients could be purchased. Is this in addition to JAWS license cost? 2. Can this feature / service be purchased for an already installed older version of JAWS, for example, version 13 or 14? 3.
