Yes, it’s a free alternative to VMWare. One of the advantages is that it has a command line feature so you can script and type commands instead of point and click and use the GUI. > On Jun 9, 2017, at 9:24 PM, Sharon Hooley wrote: > > So is this an alternative to VMWare? > > thanks, > >> On

Scott, I am curious, if one uses this program to connect to a different operating system like Linux, which screen reader is used? By which I mean does Voiceover work even in these different environments? Thanks, Kare On Fri, 9 Jun 2017, Scott Granados wrote: Yes, it???s a free alternative to

Hi! In the connected operating system you use the screenreader for Linux. But elsewhere you should be able to use voiceover from what i can tell. /A > 10 juni 2017 kl. 20:10 skrev Karen Lewellen : > > Scott, > I am curious, if one uses this program to connect to a different operating > system lik

Thankfully, you don't have to rely on Voice Over when running Linux shell level apps. Instead, you use Speakup, or brltty, or emacspeak, or perhaps the new Henrii. Voice Over would be as bad at the Linux shell as it is in the Mac terminal. You might want VO in Linux graphical desktop apps, but it

There is one possibility of using VoiceOver when working with a Linux VM but I would expect it would not work very well. 1. Start Linux VM. 2. Start X11 server on the Macintosh and have it connect to the VM. 3. Try using VoiceOver with the X11 Screens. I have no idea if the X11 window server whi

Hi! Hmm, i haven’t tried this myself either. WHen the Linux has started i deactivate Voiceover and use the linux screenreader needed. In my case it is Orca. But it works like a charm. /A > 11 juni 2017 kl. 22:47 skrev Jonathan Cohn : > > There is one possibility of using VoiceOver when working wi
