Gary,
Dragon Users have it a little better than other AT users since you can use Connect’s keyboard shortcuts to move the focus and enter information into the editable controls. With MouseGrid you also get access to areas that don’t have good keyboard access.

However, dragon doesn’t recognize control types in connect, due to the limitations mentioned earlier, so you can’t say “share my screen button” and click it, you’ll need to be able to navigate to it or use one of the keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks,
AWK

Subject: RE: [WebAIM] Adobe Connect & accessibility

Andrew, could you speak to the use of speech recognition software (e.g., Dragon Naturally Speaking) with Adobe Connect? Has formal testing been done and documented? Any guidance for those of us using such assistive technology when using Adobe Connect?
