Remote access? (self.Blind)
submitted by Raf_AL
I'm just wondering if there's an accessible way to have remote access to my PC while using my phone.
I have an Iphone 7 and a PC with Windows 10 on it, so it's understandable if this combo won't work, but it would be nice to know if it's possible with any other device.
By accessible I mean being able to control the pc with a phone while using a screen reader.
Thanks.

TeamViewer kind of works if you have a Bluetooth keyboard. There are certain keys and key combinations that can't be sent to the PC though.

It's better than nothing I guess. I will have to get my hands on a Bluetooth keyboard at some point.
Thanks for the info.

No, all the remote control apps are purely touch/gesture based. Inaccessible for us and either laggy or absolutely no remote audio feedback.

That's a shame. It would be nice to be able to grab things from your pc at home and send them to your phone. Guess we're stuck with having to remember to plan everything ahead of time.

Or put most of your shit in the cloud if you have the resources and willingness to do so

Granted, but sometimes you might forget to put things on the cloud.
There are things you simply can't put on the cloud. That's when remote access would be a great option to have.
