NVDA with Remote Desktop Services

fnosan@...
 

Hi, does NVDA support a scenario where: 

1. several visually impaired users connect to a central Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Server) machine
2. obviously, each user opens a separate Remote Desktop session
2. each user uses NVDA to control his/her respective session

From what I understand the NVDA Remote add-on would not support this scenario, but I am not sure. 

Thank you!

Hi Frank
I think you could do it with the NVDA Remote, but it might be difficult.
An alternative is to install a copy of NVDA on your server and make it available to all users. Then activate the virtual soundcard, or remote audio service which will route audio to the connecting clients. The clients can then activate NVDA remotely and they should get the audio on their machine.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Luke

Hi Luke, thank you for the answer. I'd prefer NVDA Remote no matter the difficulty. If only anyone would know whether it's possible at all... 

Our users will have poor internet connection, hence the need for RDP. From what I understand the audio service option is bandwidth-intensive and a significant lag might be experienced. 

Thanks again, F.

It won't support this directly.
The best you'll be able to get is the following:
1. Start an RDP connection.
2. Connect NVDA Remote somewhere on both machines.
That should work.

Yes sending bits of changes to screens as remote desktop does not send info for a screenreader, which is why nvda remote is needed.
