Thank you, Chris. This makes sense now. I have only just been introduced to Remote Desktop. It will be something to follow up after the bank holidays. Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of chris hallsworth Sent: 28 April 2011 21:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Jaws and Remote Desktop Hi. There is no alternative for one simple reason. What is displayed on the client machine is a bitmap image of the remote machine, which screen readers running in their normal fashion cannot decipher. This is why both JAWS and Window-Eyhes has specific support for Remote Desktop. Hope this helps. Take care.
