[NFBCS] [EXTERNAL] RE: Accessible Screen Sharing Question for WebEx

[Steve Shelton]

I made the same mistake when responding to the thread. Here is what I sent
earlier that didn't make it to the list. 

I agree that having the documents sent to you in advance is the best
solution. But, if you are using JAWS, the Convenient OCR feature  will allow
you to get text from the shared screen. This works pretty well if the screen
is not constantly changing.   

I recently retired, but was a WebEx user for several years and spent many
hours a week on conferences.

Hello List,

I didn't realize that if I just click reply, it contacts the sender
off-list, which it did when I replied to Curtis. Curtis provided some
helpful information, but I am also curious to hear other opinions.

I am dealing with conflict with a coworker over getting the information I
need in the meetings where they use screen sharing. I emailed my questions
to the coworker. He said he would assign me tasks that he felt I could
complete, and provide me with the necessary information at that point,
instead of just answering my questions. How would you all proceed in that
case? I feel responsible for keeping up with the visual information in the
meetings just like everyone else, instead of me being provided a limited
subset of information.

Thank you,
Mike

EXT email: be mindful of links/attachments.



Hello:

Unfortunately, screen sharing is not accessible to people who cannot see the
screen. This is true no matter what meeting platform you are using. Best to
ask to have the files sent to you in advance or (next best) after the
meeting.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi,

If you are totally blind and in meetings where information is being screen
shared to you, how do you get the information you need?

Thank you,
Mike
