Is anyone aware of accessible chat room software? Of all the chat rooms I've tested recently, all seem to have essential features that violate several WCAG Priority 1 Recommendations (for example auto-refreshing content for room participants and their status). A possible solution for visually impaired users is to use email, and carbon copy everyone, but then it's not a chat room and an email list. Any thoughts on that? I tested "HTML based" chat rooms (as opposed to JavaScript and Java versions) and the auto-refreshing content is real troublesome with screen readers. Though I was able to overcome some of that using JAWs PC cursor mode, I still had to have vision to see where to move the cursor to.
