I'd have to agree that NVDA is the bees knees.
For a long time I was using Supernova, with NVDA installed on the same machine
to use as a 'rescue' voice every time Supernova choked and stopped talking,
which seemed to be a lot.
Then when Dolphin started telling me I needed to spend more money to upgrade I
ditched it and now use NVDA exclusively.
I did try an evaluation of WindowEyes and it felt pretty good but I just can't
afford it at the moment. And anyway I've always been disgusted at the price of
commercial access software.

AS far as I am concerned, NVDA rocks.

Hi,
Thatâs true. And with NVDA being Open Source itâs more than likely my
employer will let me roll it out to the workstations. Especially as it only
uses 500MB of disk space.
Cheers,
Barry.

Hi,
Yes, it does have a flat review mode, but not object nav.
But if you want object nav, just chuck NVDA on the host machine, then log
in <Smile>.
All the best

Hi Steve,
Iâve not played with System Access much. Does it have any form of flat
review cursor or object nav? Iâm just concerned about areas of the screen that
you canât tab to etc.
Cheers,
Barry.

Hi,
No, it isnot screen reader dependent.
If you have a screen reader, the tech can work with it. If you donât, then
System Access is run onl the local machine. This means that I as a tech can
service sighted peoplesâ machines as well as blind.
This has saved me a fortune in many ways, but it is an enterprise product
and costs Â500.00 per annum plus VAT, plus a one-off setup fee.
All the best
Steve

I assume this is not screenreader dependent? I also prosume that you
havenât had a chance to play with this yet and find out how accessible it
actually is, though consideringthe service is offered by serotech one would
assume that it should be very accessible. Would be very interested once you get
it to hear about your findings, what sort of interface it is and how it
interacts with a screenreader.

Vanja,
Iâll be getting ATW to pay for a licence of
Remote Incident Manager (RIM) by Sirotek
http://www.serotek.com/remote-incident-manager-rim
Iâm not sure of the pricing. I think itâs just under a grand. Itâs an
accessible version of things like Log Me In, which is currently in-accessible
to us.
Cheers,
Barry

Hello,
Iâm sorry if this has been covered before, but as always when itâs not
relevant to me I didnât pay much attention.
What do people use these days as an accessible method to access other
peopleâs computers for tech support. Iâm interested in all sorts of products,
whether they bee offered by assistive technology companies or mainstream, as
long as I would be able to access someoneâs computer in order to help them in
accessible mannor. I am aware that jaws has this feature, but am I correct in
saying that 1. This can only be used if both computers have jaws installed and
2.I as a person who need to access anotherâs computer would have to pay extra
in order for this to work.
Thanks in advance for any help.
