I have used the type of software you guys are talking about. I have used the JAWS Tandem as they call it. It is really nice works very well. I have helped others with problems and have been helped by others with things I couldn't figure out. I've never gotten help from FS, but it sure is nice to have that option. The only thing that would scare me is FS getting their lawyers after GW again.
But yes, that would be a nice feature. Jimmy, a new WE user. Jimmy. KD5qhh.

I don't think it is the time stuff. It's more of a question to have it implemented. Yet, what I do think, is that WinEyes does have a big lack, in that it doesn't let the blind user make use of already existing software on the front. What about, for one thing, to have WE working with things like LogMeIn. There's a few others like that one, but I have tried several, and find that WE goes silent in the moement you try to control another computer. It would have been great, if I could have helped my mom, or whoever, when they have trouble on their PC. And, if first things like that could be possible, GW could simply ask their customers to install the actual software, and do the testing over the net. You ask how many people will be needed in the staff? Hmm, not sure if there will be any more people needed. Just think on the time they are spending by now, in phone, trying to figure what is going on on the users screen. If they had it all there, right on their own screen, some problems might be solved in half the time. And to have computers shipping in and out of the office, also does take a bit of staff. Yet, I don't think it is too much time. OK, easier access, might lead to a somehow higher stream of PCs that want to be 'looked into'. Yet, how often does it happen now aday, and how much more often will it happen, if the service got established? In the long run, I do think, there will only be benefits from GW having the chance of assisting directly on your computer. How often is it, that we see people here on the list having strange things going on. Ten Emails go back and forth, before the user might happen to have his problem solved. And, maybe he doesn't exactly know what solved it. Him not knowing, leads to the GW staff not knowing; since they have no way of getting their hands on the actual problem and PC. Very few people around the globe, do have the time, or otherwise chance, to ship their one and only computer to the USA, and wait for it to come back some weeks later. Yet, most of them, would have been happy to have the staff helping them over a net-based service. And, if WE had the ability to use such kind of services, there might even be a chance for other users to help out less experienced users. Just like when a seeing friend of mine, was able to log on to my compute, and give me some assistance, even though him being located 500 miles away. I wish I could have returned his favor, next time his computer might have a problem, and I would have had the knowledge how to fix it, if only WE would have worked over such services. GW staff, we are not living in the 90s any longer. This is one of the modern day computer things, and I - and many with me - would greatly have appreciated to see such a feature in the next version of WE. ----- Original Message ----- From: net bat <mailto:[email protected]> To: GW INFO <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 10:33 PM Subject: Re: suggestion for window-eyes and how many people would they have to hirer to handle the hundreds of problems people have every day that may not even be a wineyes problem? and how much would this add to the cost of window eyes? ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon Misch <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 1:24 PM Subject: suggestion for window-eyes what would be good for window-eyes would be a remote feature that would allow tech support to remote into other people's boxes to fix the issues instead of having to ship pcs to gwmicro. what do you guys think about that?
