Jaws will remain silent. There is a product called Accessible Event that allegedly allows presentations, such as classroom demonstrations, to be accessed. I think it works by converting the text to html, and that can be read by a screen reader. A WebMeeting, however, doesn't lend itself to something like that. When someone the other end of a WebMeeting, for example, edits a sentence by deleting three words and substituting different words, Accessible Event is useless -- or at least it was when I last checked. I am unaware of any product that will allow JAWS to interpose itself between the presentation material and your computer, allowing the content to be spoken. We cannot be too far from that. For instance, I think we will be able to use hypervisor-actuated VDI systems (or so I am told).
