[Electronics-Talk] viewing other computer screens and remote operation of another pc accessible options

[carcione at access.net]

My old boss could control my PC through Zoom, if I authorized it.  It
started with screen share, but I don't recall the second step.  It was easy,
though.

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to view someone else's computer screen from your own pc if
using a screen reader? I would think not but just wanted to ask those who
might use pcs more and who know advanced things.

I was hoping to view another screen from my home pc. For instance, if I
wanted to view my brother's pc screen from my pc and we are in separate
locations, I'm wondering if its possible. I know for sighted users it is by
using something like Team viewer.

 

Next, is it possible to use a screen reader and remotely operate another pc?
I would think not, that is unless the other person has a screen reader also
running. I do know Jaws has a tandem feature built in, but have not used it.
Jaws Tandem sessions may be beneficial for the occasional case when I need
to demonstrate a task to other screen reader users or vice versa. I also
might want to trouble shoot an issue with another screen reader user and in
this case it would be helpful.

But usually the person's pc I'd want to control would not have a screen
reader running. 

 

Are there any options?

 

Thanks,

Ashley
