This is a built-in feature of jaws, windoweyes , supernova, and the rest of 
them.It is achieved via sending the text to be spoken back over the remote
connection and instructing the client on what to speak and when.

Take care,
Sina

Yes I have the same type of questions, and some more.

For example, I was told that Jaws could run on a remote server and the
client application could send a text to the server for getting the sound
from it, but how can it get it? As an mp3 file? As a .wav? Or something
else?
Would it be legally to use Jaws this way from more client machines that
could access a server that runs Jaws? ... or Window Eyes... no matter which 
of them.
And one more thing... If that program can be used that way, why does it need 
to use Jaws or Window Eyes? Why not using just the voice synthesizer in
order to produce the sound?
I think that very few things were said here on the list about that project, 
and many more things off the list, but I think that most of the listers
don't know too much about it.

Congratulations on your progress with this project, Jay!  Like others, I
confess having trouble understanding the full ramifications. Could you or 
Sina describe some vignettes from a user's perspective?
I think I understand that this technology would allow someone on a Windows 
computer (e.g., running JAWS) to operate a remote Linux computer with
Orca.  Is that right?  Would JAWS need to be running after the connection
was made?  If so, would there be key conflicts to manage between JAWS and
Orca?

Does this technology also allow Java applications to be self voicing?  Do
they have to implement the Swing API according to accessibility
guidelines?  If one has a Java app installed, how would the self-voicing
part be added?

I know from the quality of your skills and the time you have invested in
this project that it is something with exciting potential.  I'm just
trying to get a better grasp of what it would and would not do.  If there
are any sample apps or audio demos that illustrate the possibilities, that 
would be great.

Cheers,
Jamal
