Hi Everyone,
Talking Communities is also another conferencing that you can use. There is
a video component to it whereby you can have a full screen video conference,
or you can have a group of four people in a conference room with the web cam
of each showing when an individual is talking. It also can handle desk top
sharing, though like the other conferencing systems, it is not accessible
with JAWS. It does, however, have a document center in which you can show
word documents and slide presentations. As was mentioned in the previous
message, these are converted to (html), which makes it possible for JAWS to
read what is on that section of the screen. You can also send web pages, and
JAWS can read those. You can try Talking Communities out for a limited time
free to see if it meets your needs. Sending and receiving text messages is
also accessible, either reading with JAWS, or you can use the self voicing
aspect of the Talking Communities conferencing to read text messages.
You can take a look and listen at:
www.talkingcommunities.com
I hope this helps.
Blessings and All the Very Best,
Pat

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).

Thanks, Ed. Can I participate if I am not the party in control (i.e.
I'm a participant and someone else hosts?)

You will be able to hear none of the content from the screens of other
users.
With WebEx, however, you can share your screen and others can see what
you were doing.
This system works pretty well so long as you are the party in control.
JA WSworks pretty well.

Hello,
I’m hoping to get some different opinions here. What video
conferencing service do you all find is the most accessible and
useful with JAWS? Skype? Hangouts? WebX? GoToMeeting? A lot of the
info I find is out-of-date when I search the internet for
accessibility information and experiences, and I don’t have time to
test all of these services.
I need something where I can video conference and share screens with
my colleagues.
Brice
