Actually you need to install the same version of jaws on the citrix server as well as your desktop. This is usually the show stopper. You also need to pro version of jaws. Once connected to the server the server version of jaws authorizes it self from your desktop and you are good to go. With out these two things it isn't going to work.

Not sure if this is still accurate but when using JAWS with Citrix, you must purchase an additional add-in for JAWS to work with Citrix and it must be installed on your employer's main frame. I tried this at my job a few years back and couldn't ever get JAWS to work correctly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Rossi" <d...@andrew.cmu.edu> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] accessibility on gotomeeting and citrix online I've had similar experiences with GoToMeeting. One caveat though. I worked with a conference organizer, and some how, we are not sure how, and we weren't able to reproduce it, but at some point, I was able to actually converse with him through the interface. The issue was that there is a bunch of controls on the screen, but JAWS refused to see them. Then, at some point, I was able to see all of the controls and interact with them, but was unable to do that during the actual live meeting. The conference organizer had done something along the lines of set my preferences differently during our test, and that put me in a different area when the our test conference started, which enabled me to see all the controls. However, when we tried that in the live conference, it didn't seem to work the same way. So, I will say that yes, in general it is mostly inaccessible, but it seems promising that it can be made to work. I think that should be a priority for Freedom Scientific since so many business related meetings are now being conducted via this platform. -- Blue skies.
