This is true. You can connect from Home to Pro just fine, though. RDP server isn’t available on 10 Home. This is why I was curious if JAWS would work with something like Teamviewer. I haven’t tested it yet, and may need to email VFO about it, but if you’re already using Home it seems almost pointless to upgrade to Pro just for RDP. I mean I’d do it, but only on my equipment. I do tech support for the parents, though, and I wouldn’t make them upgrade to Pro just so I can remote in if I didn’t have to.

Hi,

This is only true if you have Windows 10 Pro.  Home won’t let you connect unattended to another Home computer.

All the best

Remote Desktop allows you to connect to your computer provided you know your home computer’s IP address.

You probably also have to set up port forwarding in your router to allow the connection and of course you have to make sure Remote Desktop is enabled for the computer you want to connect to.

If you don’t have a fixed IP address which for a home connection is likely you would have to set up something called a “dynamic DNS” which allows you to set up an easy to remember name and if your IP address changes the service will automatically update this so that the name you set up still works, below is a website with more information:

Lastly, if you use Jaws you may have to contact Vispero, I think Remote Desktop may not be something which works with a basic Jaws license, if I go to Jaws > About it says the following in addition to the version information etc.:

Upgrades Remaining: 2

Remote Access: Enabled

Tandem Direct: Disabled

HI All,

I work from home a bit.  I wanted to know if I am at work on my work computer is there a way I can access my home computer?  What would be a good accessible solution?

Best,

alt + enter goes to the propperties for most things in windows. Also you
just type the letter you want to use as the alt + ctrl is already there
and cant be altered.
Highlight your shortcut, press alt + enter then tab to the shortcut
field then press a key that you want to use with the ctrl + alt combo. I
use C. So to start Chrome I press ctrl + alt + C. then tab to ok.
You can use any key not just letters. For example: Up arrow grov or 1.

Hi,

 

honestly, NVDA never ever quit on me on the remote device.

If I had to restart the machine for whatever reason, NVDA always restarted itself and NVDA REmote along with it.

That’s because JAWS Tandem, like NVDA Remote, relies on the screenreader to be up and stable to work. If JAWS or NVDA crashes, good luck. That’s why I was kind of hoping for Teamviewer. I don’t care which screenreader I end up using, honestly. But the ability to restart it when it inevitably falls over without needing to be in front of the machine would be helpful.

Hi,

 

I did use TeamViewer now and then, with JAWS being installed on all machines.

I remember that I had to do quite a bit of key pass-throughs to control some of the remote JAWS’ features.

Your best bet is to install NVDA on both machines, have it start up on the machine you want to control, and install NVDA Remote on both.

Works very well, and it will even come up when doing updates and restarting the remote machine or when your connection is bad now and then.

JAWS Tandem has the disadvantage of not reconnecting or losing connection when JAWS restarts for some reason or other.

 

Regards,

Nermin

It sounds like you installed JAWS when offline.

 

Try running the installer again and repairing it.  It won’t install the OCR components when offline correctly.

 

All the best

Subject: Now, sometimes I cannot convert to OCR an image PDF document

 

Hello List,

 

There are two ways to use the Jaws OCR to convert an image PDF file.

I have noticed a change when trying one way, the other still works.

 

I recently had to switch to a new hard disk. This meant I had to download and install: Windows 10 version 1809, the latest Jaws 2019 and Adobe Acrobat Reader DC v19.10.200.

 

Before this complete upgrade, I could open a PDF image file either as a Thunderbird attachment or by pressing ENTER on the PDF file in the directory tree. There was then a Yes/No prompt for Jaws to do the OCR of the document.

 

Now, there is no “alert empty document” message nor is there the prompt to do the OCR.

 

I get the Virtual cursor. It is a blank window but the Jaws plus page-down command gives: Start free trial.

 

When I turn off the Virtual cursor and start the OCR with

  Jaws plus space bar then o.

 

Pressing “d” (for a document), I get: OCR failed to start.

Pressing “w” (for a window), gives me the OCR converted text.

 

The PDF document is converted but,

On the right of some lines are these statements:

   Create PDF

   Edit PDF

   With Acrobat Pro DC

   Start free trial

 

The second way to convert PDF to text, still works. Highlight the PDF file in the directory tree or File Explorer,

the applications key has:    select “convenient OCR with Jaws”.

 

When I do an OCR of the window, the PDF and Pro DC message share the window. This seems to prevent Jaws from converting the PDF document.

 

How do I get rid of the start free trial with Acrobat Pro DC?

 

Thanks,

Peter T.

Hi,

I can guarantee that you can use both home and professional with it.

Yeah, I got remote access an age ago. Actually used it over RDP a time or few because I was lazy. I’ll have to play around with it and see how it works with Teamviewer. If it does, awesome. If it doesn’t and I need pro just for RDP, I’m going to be highly annoyed. I don’t even use the pro features on 7, and I’m running ultimate. LOL

For my version it does, but now that I think of it I do have remote access enabled on my license. Your mileage may vary.

If it's installed locally and not using actual remote desktop, I wouldn't see why audio couldn't just be routed through. What you're essentially paying for with the remote access add on is the synthosizer itself to be redirected from the remote machine, thus eliminating choppy audio or audio with static in it, which happens if you just try and stream something over rdp and your internet isn't that great. It has I think 3 levels of audio quality - and the quality can reduce drastically if there is a hitch in the connection and doesn't fix itself. With the remote access license, this is gone and the synthosizer, with windows default RDP, is always top notch. I've only done team viewer a couple of times.
