Does anyone have any experience with the accessibility of IM clients. If
so can you point me to either research or make recommendations. It looks
like the Spark client that I was given to test is a no-go with JAWS 9
but I may be missing something.

I have been using Windows Live Messenger for years with a friend who is a
screen reader user. We have also been using Twitter...he uses Twitthat.

Is WebAIM on Twitter? Should it be?

Anyone interested in exploring a Twitter "group" regarding accessibility? Or
does one already exist?

Skype, Windows Messenger, and AIM, all seem to be supported by Jaws, though I've only used the first two. I was also able to use ICQ about seven years ago, but I haven't used it since then, so can't vouch for the more recent versions of the program. Finally, I have also used Google Talk, and I found the experience to be unpleasant and difficult at best.

Of course, this is just with Jaws. Other screen readers may give different results.
