Screen Reader for Connect

Has anybody come across a screen reader product (or any other product that would allow visually-impaired people to participate in a Meeting) that works with Connect?

Thanks for any help,

Niall

Re: Screen Reader for Connect

Screen-reading Connect Meeting is a difficult challenge.  For example, determining what should be in primary context (chat, a presentation being displayed, notes, etc...) is a big hurdle.

I believe the product team is looking into what can be done here longer term, but here are a few resources though for review to explore current options:

And Adobe's VPATs on Acrobat Connect:

I would suggest JAWS, but I don't know if it can read items in the pods (flash) or not.

Beyond that, what about checking into the built in Windows options ?

soundsentry may read the pop ups for notification of new users in a meeting room

I also know that Vista has some new features bult in as well.  Maybe not exactly the answers you were looking for, but maybe a starting point at least.
