[Trainer-talk] PC helpware

[Julie Adkins]

I just tried a program Friday called Anyplace, and it looked really good,
but then I got hacked.  Someone got into my computer and started moving
things around, and opening a website.  My IT guy had just been talking to
me, so I thought he was doing it to show me how it works, but I figured out
it was not him when the person told me (we were chatting through Notepad)
that they wanted $5 to fix a problem, and that they were from the "Windows
department."  Now I'm really scared to try out these ones that are not so
familiar.  The IT guy told me he had thought this one would be okay because
it was recommended in a PC World article.

The client has to install a piece of software, which might be a problem in
that kind of environment.

How about Serotek's RAM or RIM?

Yes, the original question was about a software called PC helpware.
The consumer will be required to use this piece of software to remotely
control a non-AT users computer.
Though the links to JAWS tandem and Skype on the tech vision site has been
helpful in other areas.
Another technologist in our agency, with more experience with remote access
management software like this is going to test it this weekend, for fun.
Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative, if the software is not
accessible out of the box?
My consumer will need to, as a tech support Technician for an Internet
service provider, remotely access, control, and fix the computers of
customers who do not have   assistive technology installed. Is there
remote access software out there that would provide the technician text to
speech access of the destination computer?
Hiring a script writer  is a possibility, but may be more expensive then the
employer, and counselor, can afford. So, if you have suggestions on creative
funding for hiring a script writer that would be helpful too.
Thanks in advance
Laine
