Hi Brad,
Until last night I also thought Adobe Connect was not accessible. I had some time to explore prior to my webinar, and I found a couple of things. If you hit the space bar on any of the menus, you will enter a menu bar. You can use left and right arrows to find the menus and up and down arrows for the submenus. In the help menu I found a list of short-cut keys. I was able to find the edit box for the chat. I was also able to find the content area and even read the slides. I don't remember what the keys were now, but I know I have more webinars coming up. The next time I take one, I'll try to paste the short-cuts into a document. Then I'll paste them into an email message and post them here. That is, if it's ok with the moderator. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brad Martin via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2014 9:42 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Adobe Connect or Webex As a small part of my job, I occasionally have to attend webinars. The hosting organization has heard my concerns regarding Adobe Connect, and they're genuinely interested in helping me if they can switch to a more accessible solution. I didn't have any trouble using Adobe Connect to access the webinar. I could hear it just fine. But I couldn't use the chat feature, which is the way they offered for asking questions. I couldn't even find the chat box in Adobe Connect. They have asked me if Webex is any better to use for this purpose, and I don't know the answer to that. Because the National Disability Institute uses it, I would hope that it is, but I have no experience with Webex. Can anyone tell me if you've had any luck using it with JAWS? I have JAWS 15 and Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit. As a side question, I used Adobe Connect the other day with Firefox; would I have had better luck with Internet Explorer and Adobe Connect?
