Hi Mark,
Peter is correct, if you have somebody who uses Skype or Facetime it is very easy and very effective to show them just about anything. I asked my Mom once to look at my monitor during a Facetime call because the computer had crashed and I really wanted to know if there were any messages or some sort of button to click since the computer didn't seem to respond to any keyboard feedback. I also once called for technical support for my Sawstop table saw and they wanted to know the serial number. I asked the support guy if he had a way to get on Skype and in fact he did so I started a Skype video call with him and he was able to get the serial number off a sticker on the table saw, this would have been virtually impossible with VisWiz because he had to tell me to hold the phone this way and a bit more over and then to get a light since the sticker was underneath and not enough light reached it etc. before he could finally read it. If your friend or relative has an iDevice Facetime is quick to use and works great, if not Skype also works good and it's a bit more universal.work Both Skype and Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Logan Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: App recommendations for a somewhat unusual purpose? Facetime or Skype works great for this ... Viz Wiz also, but that doesn't always seem like a good use of time ...

We've got a computer that's decided not to give us any kind of audio output whatsoever. Potentially because we're not even seeing the OS. What I'm wondering is if there's an app available that can let me use my phone to tell me what's on the screen, so I can get me to a point where I can at least know where I am in relation to if we're having a problem with the boot process. If there is, that would be absolutely awesome. Of course if not, I can probably find another, more convoluted way to get it done. Any pointers would be awesome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
