Re: Screen reader/JAWS over Guac?

[Antony Awaida]

Thanks Mike and Nick:

Am I therefore correct in concluding?

If JAWS runs correctly in an RDP environment (which presumably it does),
Guac should be able to deliver the audio.

Thank you,
Antony

Re: Screen reader/JAWS over Guac?

Hi Nick:

RDP. Apparently JAWS supports RDP (Terminal services). See this:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Products/Blindness/JAWS

If that is the case, will it work with Guacamole?

I think the OCR option may be less desirable and perhaps more error prone
in my view. Thoughts?

Regards,
Antony

Actually, for all protocols, there is no text once things reach the
client side. Everything is graphical.

If running the screen reader within the remote desktop is an option,
that should work well for the protocols where Guacamole provides audio
support (VNC and RDP). Otherwise, yep, everything is part of a dynamic
image and there is nothing for the reader to read.

Screen reader/JAWS over Guac?

[Antony Awaida]

Hi everyone:

Has anyone tried to run a screen reader such as JAWS over Guacamole? if so
do you have a recipe for that?

Thanks!
