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.
