Hi,
Over on the NVDA Development list, there was some talk about this. The
developers said that for it to work, NVDA would need to be installed on the
server side. I believe that they have no plans to work on this immediately.
Maybe a Python hacker on this list can get involved.

Thanks for that Chris. With Windows-Eyes, is it a zero-install on the
remote machine, as in, can you Terminal Service to any machine and it
just works? or does it require some kind of remote installation? It's
very impressive if this can work -- I thought it's only images that is
sent via the RDP protocol. I suppose NVDA doesn't support RDP access at
all? Since work on the remote server tends to be much less than on one's
local machine you don't need (in many cases I suppose) the full power of
JAWS or WE,but just something to get by with.
Perhaps another zero cost solution would be to run the NVDA portable
version on the remote box and then listen to the audio stream via the
RDP client?
Wow, what about this. Have the remote NVDA send data through to a local
NVDA which will then voice it locally? Would work much better since you
don't lug an audio stream around cyberspace but just a stream of text?
So many possibilities with computers....
