Details

I met with one of our blind students and watched as she tried to use
Psi. She's using JAWS 9 on Windows XP, which supports MSAA. We have a
site license for JAWS, so that is what our other students use as well.

The screen reader is unable to read essentially everything on the
screen. The only thing it could read was the window title and the
content of the "Tips" window. It could identify some images (I think it
was the images in the roster, but it was impossible to tell) but the
images didn't have anything describing what they were. I think you just
need to add some sort of "alt" text attribute to the buttons, images,
menus and text windows.

Keyboard navigation in the dialogs and menus appears to work. She could
not figure out keyboard navigation through the roster.

The concept of notifying of new messages might be troublesome. Aside
from the initial audible alert, it doesn't do any subsequent audible
notifications. The client gives plenty of visual notifications, but
that doesn't help when you can't see.
