Hi: Glad to hear you are getting there and making some greenies! Keep up learning and experimenting with WindowEyes. Perhaps someone using something else in screen readers will have some insights as well on the other programming lists I am on. But if WindowEyes will work that is my first choice. Keep posting as you find things out since I'll be using that puppy sooner rather than later myself, after my new computer comes and I learn to suffer, er, navigate windows 8.1 - grin.

Rick, Our company switched to WebEx last summer. At first I found it really inaccessible,, even as a participant trying to attend a meeting. I then discovered the that reclassing the buttons on the popups at least allows me to now get into the Webex to attend. If you are not familiar with Webex, when you start a meeting, you get a popup that asks if you want WebEx to call you to join the meeting by phone or if you will dial in. The buttons in that box did not read for me using WE 8.4., but now they do. I was just in WebEx yesterday trying to learn if I could successfully host a meeting. Your information below will be really helpful. I was just experimenting and did find that I could use the mouse pointer to read the buttons across the top and the drop down menus to share a screen and so forth. I would personally be way to stressed to host a professional meeting without a lot of practice and memorizing how to find the most common items I would use. So, while I cannot give you a full review of the below, I can say it's looking more promising that I originally thought. I'd be happy to share any new findings with you as I play with it a bit more. I have a presentation in 2 weeks that I'll need to use WebEx for.

Below is the text I found on one of their WebPages: Have you found the following to be pretty accurate and usable with WindowEyes besides accessible? Rick USA <BeginCopiedText> Accessibility Using Audio CAPTCHA Screen Reader Support Supported Keyboard Shortcuts Working With the Participants List Copying Text From the Chat Panel Entering Text In An Input Box Accessing the Meeting Controls Panel During Sharing Accessibility Using Audio CAPTCHA The CAPTCHA challenge-response test requires that you accurately enter the text that is presented into the text box so that you can access your account. WebEx presents you with this security measure when you fail to sign in with the correct user credentials six times or when you choose to reset your password by selecting the Forgot your password link. As an alternative to entering what you see in the image, you can enter the text that you hear. Note Audio CAPTCHA is not supported if your system is configured for SSO or LDAP authentication. Procedure Step 1 Navigate to the Hear an audio challenge link using the Tab or Shift+Tab keys and select Enter. The text will be read to you. Step 2 Enter the text that you hear into the text box and select Enter. Step 3 To hear the text again, navigate to the Replay link using Shift+Tab and select Enter. After entering the text correctly, you can proceed with signing in to WebEx.
