NVDA with Secure CRT is amazing!
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 09 Aug '17

Because I'm having a lot of problems with Jaws at the moment, I'm using NVDA a lot more than I would have. NVDA is slowing me down in Outlook and of course, I cant use it in remote desktop environments reliably but where it is really shining is in SecureCRT! I've just successfully connected to a Linux machine, Then used SSH to connect to a remote server where I needed to update some files. I used simple commands. Ls, pwd, ps etc and the feedback was perfect every single time. Then I ran nano and to my delight I was able to accurately navigate by character and by line. I haven't had that kind of reliability from a Windows screen reader in an SSH session before. I'm just delighted! I've also found good success in the command line and in powershell.

Trying to read checkboxes in add roles and features
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 09 Aug '17

Hello, Has anyone found a nice way of reading the checkboxes in the add roles and features wizard in Windows 2012 and 2016? I'm kind of stuck at the moment. Yes, I can use powershell but it doesn't fit with what I'm trying to do at the moment.

SCCM - feedback - Accessibility topic.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hello all, I need to draw your attention to the System Center Configuration Manager feedback site and specifically the topic of accessibility. This feedback item has been marked as complete but in my opinion, as there are outstanding accessibility issues in 1702 - untested but unconfirmed as fixed in 1706, the topic should remain a very active area of discussion within this team. As my SCCM implementation really starts to grow legs and we're trying to do a lot more with it, the reports are really letting me down. I have no real way of finding out how my application or update deployments are going. This kind of thing needs to be addressed. I have asked on this feedback item that it be kept open. I ask those of you who can to echo this request. Mark and his team have done an exdceptional job. I can't express enough how much I appreciate it but I think they may be closing this without getting everything finished and that would be a shame for those of us who are spending a lot of time in SCCM. The address to the feedback item is here: https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas/suggestions/… Regards Darragh
