Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Citrix agile working

Hi, I'd do the same in your shoes. It will be interesting to see if the developers and other IT professionals in your org go down this route as resetting the images each time you log in is a real pane as lots of settings get lost.

Hi,

Yes it will work but you would be relying on the audio in JFW to get the audio from your VDI session to the Chromebook. It would be a latency issue as well, and I don't think you would get Braille in that configuration.

In terms of the VDI host you would probably need a static host though to be honest most people I worked in with IT in this setup used a static host as they had lots of extra software on their machines.

Greetings,

Yes, you can use JAWS in a VDI environment. It is slow at times responding depending on network latency. It really doesn't matter what the underlying host is. So, using a Chrome Book connecting to a Windows host via Citrix will work but honestly isn't fun. In my opinion I think you will see a reverse trend for reasons such as this.

Hi all, Here we're moving towards an even more agile working environment than we already had, giving most users chromebooks and working with windows applications through a citrix VDI environment. I've thought about trying the chromebook for a while now but am not sure how I could actually work in the citrix environment. I'm assuming NVDA would work because I think citrix has audio support, my only problem would be audio latency, and possibly an issue over JAWS licencing. I'm the only person who uses it so I got a JAWS professional licence, but we have a great number of VDI session hosts, so I'm not sure if it would get confused. Has anybody had any experience of working this way? Thanks, Kieran.
