"I am curious as to why you are using Adobe Connect? The college where I
attend my classes online uses this software and I have found it extremely
problematic to use. For instance in the chat pod I can not read individual
chat messages. It wants to read all of them at the same time. I am also
unable to reliably read anything in the attendee pod.
This is using JAWS or NVDA. Also this is with the adobe connect plug in
installed. This question is just out of curiosity because I would like to
be able to use adobe connect more proficiently."

I haven't used it a great deal myself yet. I've found it reasonably
accessible with NVDA in Firefox, but haven't yet experienced a busy chat
session inside Connect.

If you've identified specific areas where Connect could be improved, it'd be
worth contacting Adobe and/or the vendors of the screen reader, to see if
there is a possible workaround/fix that can be found.
