Re: Remote desk top apps?

2015-10-15 Thread Aman Singer 
Hi Brent,

You are quite right, but keep in mind that for Kim to use the database
through Jump Desktop or any of the other remote desktop apps mentioned
in the original message, it would be necessary to have a screen reader
installed on the system. That is, some talking thing is going to have
to be on the server anyhow, whether what's needed is simply a remote
desktop app or the specific methods used by Jaws or NVDA. It makes no
difference what remote desktop method is used or from where it is
used, a screen reader is going to have to be on the server.
HTH.

NVDA and JFW remote desktop support would require those screen readers to 
also be installed on the server as well. Although this would seem like a 
reasonable accomodation for a place to do, since the server doesn't need a 
license separate from the client you access it from, I heard that actually 
getting them to agree and install it is another issue.

Hello Kim,

I used, and still use when I can properly hear speech, Jump's remote
desktop app. Their Bluetooth keyboard support is excellent, everything
just works. They do stream audio from the remote machine but you will
have the usual problem with remote desktop apps, the audio streaming
of screen readers is significantly delayed and sometimes breaks up.
That, of course, makes using the PC on the other side of the
connection painfully slow in some cases and absolutely hopeless in
others. If you really want access to your machine remotely, you may
want to try getting a small windows machine and using either NVDA's
remote access add-on or Jaws' remote desktop support.
I hope that's of use.

Remote desk top apps?

Hello,

My sighted coworkers use the following apps to access the company database from 
their iPhones and/or iPads.  These apps are relatively expensive so I'd like to 
know if they are accessible before I buy.  Anyone have any experience with any 
of these?

1.  Jump

2.  Rd client

3.  Tap rdp

Thanks,

Kim
