[Electronics-Talk] accessible screen sharing software and remote access

[David Waybright]

Couple things. If you want to use your jaws to see a remote computer, you need jaws loaded on the remote computer, and at one point it had to be the pro version. If you want someone to see your computer that has jaws on it that's easier and no accessibility would need to be required except to start the product. I know Jaws & ZoomText have come a long way from several years ago, I tried to share my wife's ZoomText computer to my computer at work and it wouldn't have it. I had to have her deactivate ZoomText to see the full image on my screen or it was all a mess. Now days it's better I have been able to remote into my wife's computer (which has ZoomText Fusion aka ZoomText & Jaws) and I haven't had problems. I've used Team viewer up till recently but since I'm logging into her computer from work it sees me on a "work" network and wants me to pay for a license instead of the free home use license. I've been looking at other remote products but haven't come up with one yet. I'm not sure how accessible Skype or Teams screen sharing are and don't know how they work with Jaws. my suggestion is try Skype with a co-worker both directions and see if it does what you need.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I hope you had a nice Independence day. It was different but nice this year.

Can you suggest some accessible screen sharing software, something to work with Jaws?
Also, a software to control another pc which is remote access software.
Some software programs do both which is nice. If I need two programs, that is fine too.

I want some people to see my screen who are usually sighted so we can work on a presentation together. I'd like to also be able to remotely use their windows pc.
I want a software that allows me to see their screen as a real screen as opposed to an image, if possible.

I am guessing that with a screen reader running that it will be much easier to share my screen with people than them beginning the screen share and trying to show me something.
I have a feeling that their remote screen will show up as an image to jaws.

Is Skype screen sharing accessible?
What about Ultraviewer and Uber Conference? That last one allows both conference calls and screen sharing.

How accessible is Teamviewer?

Thanks,
Ashley
