I checked these apps. They work but there is no accessibility. Visually impaired cannot use any screen reader within the remote window.

The new app is an extension of Google’s <http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/29/googles-chrome-remote-desktop-screen-sharing-service-comes-out-of-beta-adds-real-time-audio-for-windows/> previously launched Chrome Remote Desktop screen-sharing service, which allows you to share your desktop’s screen with other Chrome browser or Chromebook users. As with its big-screen counterpart, to use the Android application you first have to install a helper application on your desktop or laptop computer. That app is <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp> here in the Chrome Web Store and works on Windows (XP and above), Mac (OS X 10.6 and above) and Linux computers. The helper app installs as an extension to Google Chrome or the Chrome-based OS that powers Google’s Chromebooks. Once installed, however, you’ll be able to open the app and connect to any of your computers with just a tap, manage them, and navigate through their files and folders from afar — like a modern version of GoToMyPC, for example. We’ve known an Android client was in the works <http://techcrunch.com/2014/01/17/google-is-working-on-a-chromoting-app-for-ios-users-too/> for some time, as there was even a functional <https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromotingBuildInstructions> version of the Android client available back in January, though it required that you compile the app from source in order to use it. An iOS version is also in the works, but its development is said to be further behind. The move comes at a time when competitor Amazon is targeting enterprise users with its own version of remote access software, Amazon Workspaces. Officially <http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/26/amazon-workspaces-amazons-cloud-desktop-service-launches-to-public-along-with-new-sync-client-for-backing-up-docs-to-amazon-storage/> launched to the public in March, this service similarly lets company employees access their work computers from any device, including Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, Android or Kindle Fire HDX tablets. Of course, in Amazon’s case, the goal is to make its tablets appear more business-friendly. Google’s Remote Desktop, on the other hand, has a more consumer-focused vibe, which even had the <http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/29/googles-chrome-remote-desktop-screen-sharing-service-comes-out-of-beta-adds-real-time-audio-for-windows/> company once touting the service as a way to be the family hero by “adjusting printer settings on your mom’s computer to finding a lost file on your dad’s laptop,” for example. The official Chrome Remote Desktop Android app <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chromeremotedesktop> is available here on Google Play. warm regards, Yogesh Chhabra -- Thanks/Regards, Assistive Technology Helpline Team, National Association for the blind, Sec-5, R K Puram, New Delhi-110022 Ph: 011-64556968 E-mail: helpl...@nabdelhi.in <mailto:helpl...@nabdelhi.in> Website: http://nabdelhi.in Twitter: https://twitter.com/nabhelpline Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nabhelpline/152602518247341 This Helpline service for the blind is supported by Esel Social Welfare Foundation --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nabhelpline-official" group.
