[bcab] Re: Citrix mainframe.

hi Tim,
 
I know that some people hate this angle being brought up too soon, but these 
days, could the installation of this component be a reasonable adjustment  
under the employment provisions of D D A?  I say could it be, rather that would 
it be, because I am aware that the answer may be: "It all depends...". I'm not 
suggesting that one would lob the D D A at them in the first instance, but it 
may be worth considering if they should dig their heels in and flatly refuse to 
make the system workable with speech when they could.
 
Best,
Clive

The main thing to be aware of as an issue in this environment used to be, and 
probably still is, that you need to be able to persuade the administrator of 
the Citrix Server to install the screen reader server component on their 
server.  Not all admins are happy to do this.

        I don't know about magnification but for speech, both Window-Eyes and 
JAWS work with Citrix - albeit you need to pay extra for the privilege of JAWS 
in this environment.  The manuals for both contain info on this topic but I 
would assume there should be something on their respective websites, too.

[bcab] Citrix mainframe.        

                




        Morning,
        
                        Can anyone advise which screen readers, if any, work 
comfortably
        with Citrix mainframes? BCAB have had an email on behalf of a Supernova 
user
        who has begun working for an organisation which runs Citrix mainframes. 
In
        their words, "This seems very hostile to assistive technology and for
        example, with Dolphin Access's Supernova, Citrix disables the audio
        facility, disables the keyboard hot keys for magnification and also 
prevents
        background colour changes for Word to allow access aggressive pale blue 
or
        green."
        
                        This isn't an area I'm familiar with, so I thought I'd 
look into it.
        If anyone can point me at some information or resources, that would be
        great. Thanks.
        
        Léonie.
