[Blind-Gov] The accessibility of soft phones?

[amcarr1 at verizon.net]

Interesting, I did not consider Team's calling feature to be a Softphone, but Dave you are right, it is.  I agree, it works fairly well.  I have not tried to call someone other than those on my network.  I have no idea if and/or how to call someone by their phone number.  Once you make the call, it feels pretty much like a meeting.  I do not know what version of Teams we are using, but I am using JAWS 2022 without the scripts.  They will not approve the use of the scripts. 

HTH,
Annette

We use the softphone in Microsoft Teams and I find it to be accessible.  I have had more of a mixed experience with Jabber.
