Narwhal, short for Nonvisual Android Remote Windows Handy
Access for all, is an NVDA remote Android client, allowing
you to control your Windows PC from wherever you are. Since
NVDA Remote is a screen reader addon without image support,
this app can only be used by visually impaired persons
familiar with this technology. You will need an external
keyboard.

The following will need to be done first. You will need to
go to the settings menu in NVDA, then locate the remote
access section. You will need to check the following check
box called Enable Remote Access. There are 2 other check
boxes which you can check or uncheck; then tab to the apply
button. Pressing the Spacebar on it will apply the settings;
then tab to the Ok button and do the same.
1. On the computer you wish to control, go to the NVDA menu,
Tools, Remote Access, Connect.
Set the mode to Allow this computer to be controlled, set
server to Host locally.
Leave the port at 6837, then set the key to something that
you can remember. Press OK. You should then hear NVDA say
Connected as controlled computer.
If you get a Windows Firewall alert, unblock NVDA. You might
have to manually allow it in the firewall.
2. Find the IP address of the computer on your network:
If you know how to use command prompt, ipconfig should have
it. Otherwise, Windows + I, Network & Internet will have
it somewhere depending on whether you're using Wi-Fi or
Ethernet.
3. On the other computer, go to NVDA, Tools, Remote Access,
Connect.
Set the mode to Control another computer, server to Use
existing.
Set the host to the IP address of your other computer, and
the key to the one you set earlier. Press OK.
You should then be able to control the first computer from
the second one.
You must start NVDA after configuring the 2 computers, after
setting up the configuration.
