Hi, I believe that a few members on this list have used some third party remote apps with varying success. Basically though, the Screen Sharing and other similar services on your Mac will not pass through the VO sounds, so you are limited in what's possible. Not impossible, but quite problematic if you're attempting to remotely manipulate a computer that is in use by another. Regarding Parental Controls, this should be doable. As long as you've set the child computer to allow remote management of Parental Controls, the manipulation is done from your computer, which, of course, has VO accessibility. There are also other ways through Terminal that allow you to shutdown or restart a computer remotely, turn on/off WiFi as well as a number of other things. When using Terminal, it kind of depends on the granularity of what you wish to do, some is possible, some things are essentially not possible.
Sorry, kind of a yes/no answer. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jun 26, 2016, at 22:39, Michael Babcock <[email protected]> wrote: is this possible? I would like to control the mac from across the room, especially to change system preferences and parental control. I can see how to view the screen but can’t figure out how as a voiceover user i can in fact control the mac? thanks for any ideas. *** Michael Babcock Consulting Blind entrepreneurs on digital marketing Your Own Pay <http://yourownpay.com/> Lets Connect On Twitter @payown <http://twitter.com/payown/> Or facebook Consulting with Michael Babcock <http://facebook.com/mrmbabcock> -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
