I find it annoying because when following the instructions, at least for Windows Server 2012R2 VMs and servers, I can't get the RDP connection to talk through the virtual channel at all... I change the voice to the virtual Terminal Services synth, and nothing happens; it will toggle, but won't start talking. I'm probably doing something incorrectly, considering the instructions only cover up to 2008R2. Also, my friend's got VDI/Remote App set up, and I'm trying to figure how we can get Window-Eyes working so that I can manage resources on his network to which I've got access. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Monday, April 11, 2016 7:30 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] speculating on Hyper-V containers and accessibility Catherine: Just curious, how do you find the Window-Eyes RDP implementation to be flakey? I’ve ran it on a world wide network with many different kinds of connections and the only real problem I’ve had is that if the RDP connection drops and is reestablished, Window-Eyes stops talking through the virtual channel until I restart it. I do find that annoying and am not sure why AISquared hasn’t fixed it, but for all I know that’s an RDP issue and not Window-Eyes related.

Agreed. Evidently if no one else is going to have to do it, then I suppose I'll have to? Considering it will never get done otherwise? But in regard to your comment in terms of JAWS really being the only screen reader supported in employment scenarios, that's so dang true, and also it's too dang unfortunate. Window-Eyes does work well in some cases, though it's implementation of RDP virtual channel is flaky at best.

No I think she means real RDP/Citrix support in NVDA. And if that’s the case I agree with her. I once looked at the RDP programming guide and I don’t think it’d be too difficult to implement, again this comes from a non-coder so take it with a block of salt. I don’t know about Citrix ICA but since ICA is based on the RDP protocol I’d think it be relatively similar. I think the problem is that NVDA really doesn’t have much of a foothold in the places where most blind people are employed, most of that market is still JAWS so it just hasn’t been a high priority for the developers. The sad part is I think NVDA could blow JAWS or Window-Eyes away in a VDI environment if it was implemented properly because of its base design, so it could solve some employment problems for the blind but hey.

Speaking of that, what would be really cool is if there were more python developers wwilling to take on the NVDA over RDP virtual channel project,, considering that's fallen by the wwayside.

I have not had a chance to play with these at all but from what I’ve read I agree that this is mainly designed for web applications, and the primary thing MS is thinking of when they build this are the big cloud providers out there who have to worry about tenant isolation at a far greater level than most companies. I’m not saying it won’t have other uses, but that’s what I see the main use being. I could see an argument for things like Citrix and RDS as well but I’m guessing that will come later. And just as to VDI, my own personal view, its a nightmare because we’re letting it be one, I think with the right attention it could be solved with a reasonable amount of effort.

Hi,
Hopefully, considering Microsoft's new fantastic stance on the subject of accessibility, this new marvelous technology will be taken into account. I'd think it would work, because the application deployed in the container would more than likely be web applications. At the current moment, I've got all web sites on my IIS server deployed on one server, though I eventually want to make each site run under its own container to achieve even greater isolation. Do you folks see any potential issues with accessibility with screen readers? You think it's going to invoke the same nightmare that VDI does?
