Hi Steve, Thanks for coming back so quickly. Can you tell me how RIM is implemented? Is it software that installs onto a central server within the org? Is it a Server all in one piece of hardware? I've a meeting on Monday and I'd like to give them as much information as possible. I'm sure there'll be some policy hick ups, which is why I'd like as much info and as many options as possible. Cheers again, Barry. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: 29 September 2012 16:23 To: 'Blind sysadmins list' Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Remote support solutions Hi Barry, The advantage of RIM is that it is screen reader independent. That is to say that you can remote support a machine with no screen reader on it, since RIM runs System Access remotely on your local PC, an end user needn't even know you have a screen reader. Even better though, if the end user does have a screen reader, such as Window-Eyes, you will get the audio from that screen reader, rather than System Access running. It supports, Window-Eyes, JAWS and NVDA. I don't think it supports Supernova at this time. Disclaimer: I am a UK reseller of RIM, but I think it is the perfect solution for me as a blind technician. If you want a 30 day no obligation demo, please feel free to contact me.

I'd like some feedback on solutions people are using with screen readers. If you can give me a couple of paragraphs on what you're using and how (roughly), it's implemented. I'm talking high level, I'm not asking you to write me a tutorial. Also any pro's cons. The ones I've heard of but have no experience or any technicians views on them yet, are installing JFW/Win Eyes on a Citrix Server, the company has and owns their Citrix server so this may be an option. The other is Remote Incident Manager (RIM) http://t.co/6oLmlWqt I'm working in the UK, so our government Access To Work may be an option to help fund the latter solution, if it's cleaner, less performance issues, eg dicy audio than the Citrix stuff.
