The chat isn't a good experience with Jaws. If it helps, the chat feature is mostly being used to post questions to the presenters at the end of their talk. They'll answer as many as they can in the time left, but will do so verbally, not via the chat widget.

HTH.

I wonder, I'm using JAWS with this Adobe connect and am struggling trying to read and or chat. I've looked at the hotkeys for Connect and nothing there for reading chat's. I'm typing in the chat edit box and hit the send button, however, my questions do not get answered. Even if they get answered on-line I'm not seeing them. Wow, am I that mis-informed on how to use this, seems like it should be quite simple.

Just an FYI to Bryan's question. Flash is required for Connect. It is not accessibility supported on the Mac. Last time I checked the iOS version of connect did not expose accessibility to VoiceOver either.

Using VOiceOver I am unable to locate any test results on the page, but I do detect a Flash element and am thinking this means as a Mac User I might not have access to these test results.
