Try LivePerson. And be sure to ask them for the accessible version.

A former colleague worked hard with them until their product was fully accessible to people using screen readers and could be purchased by his employer. I'm not sure they realized the value of his (free to them) collaboration, so it would be neat to have a new potential customer contact them and ask if they can provide an accessible chat interface.

See what you discover!
