Hi Jeremy,

 

Looks like there was some discussion on this topic yesterday. Please see below.

The reality is that even if the Guac UI is made to comply with section 508 - 
relatively a simple task. There is no easy way to make the virtual 
desktop/applications comply with section 508. The screens are just images.... 

 

 

Might still be doable. Conceptualizing the remote desktop part of the guac UI 
as a video feed (fairly equivalent), it looks like the only thing needed for 
508 compliance there would be a descriptive audio track [1]:

 

"(b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be 
synchronized with the presentation. ... PASS: Content presented through video, 
but not through audio is provided in an audio description track."

 

So as long as the client-side UI is modified as necessary, it sounds like all 
that's necessary for the remote desktop is a screen reader? Guacamole would 
just pass through that audio and presto: descriptive audio track.

Good afternoon – Do you know if Guacamole has VPAT Information to meet Section 
508 compliance? This is a form in the government used for accessibility 
compliance and required software and applications.
