Zoom would also be accessible to the dragon user because it uses your “communications device” rather than your “microphone” so you could talk to Dragon and Zoom separately if you do some configuration. Zoom understands your mic may not be your “communications device”. Many other live chat programs don’t!

Depends on exactly what you need. Zoom is pretty accessible, as far as using a screen reader is concerned. It's primarily for conferencing, but it incorporates live chatting features via the keyboard.

Hello,

Can anyone recommend an accessible live chat? We’re currently using Tawk.to, but it is not keyboard accessible.

Best,
Kathryn
