[nfbcs] Is there a PRO / CON list for screen readers

[nancy coffman]

Window Eyes allows Cittrix and some remote access. System Access by Serotek also has a remote incident manager. I don't know much about other operating systems and how to access them. I know there several versions of Lynix. Each uses its own screen reader. I don't know of a screen reader that reads across multiple platforms. What does the Lynix machine do? Is it a server to the Windows machines?

Hi All,

I was trying to resolve a screen reader issue I am having at work and got
into a discussion with a colleague about screen readers.  I quickly realized
I did not know all the various screen readers out there now. Does anyone
know of a place I can get a list of screen readers that are available now?
And even better yet a Pros and Cons list for each. One of the issues I am
trying to resolve is how to communicate between two OS platforms (Windows to
Linux [Redhat or CentOS]).  And the second major issue is communicating
between two [remote] desktops. The only screen reader I am currently aware
of that handles  these issues to any degree is JAWS from Freedom Scientific
