Re: Adobe Connect & accessibility

When I tested the keyboard/voice control accessibility of Adobe
connect for my employers two years ago, my report to them said,
"Adobe connect: no accessibility at all. This is somewhat
surprising, since Adobe tries hard to be decent with
accessibility, so I wonder if further communication with the
company would reveal more information. But the help files say
nothing."

This obviously isn't helpful -- I don't know what it is about
Adobe connect that I couldn't use. My guess is that I probably
couldn't get into the base controls by voice at all, which
meant that I couldn't test to see if anything beyond that initial
startup was accessible. I know that my employers did some
outreach to Adobe about accessibility, and I'm pretty sure they
didn't hear anything.

On the other hand, this was two years ago. I would be willing to
believe things have changed.
