Hi. I was wondering how accessible aim is, and are there any scripts for it? And if so, where can I get them? Thanks

Aim is very accessible, no scripts needed for it. DO you use Jaws or Window Eyes? I think it's accessible with either screen reader. If you have any other questions, feel free to post and ask.

don't get triton though. get AIM 5.9. Triton is not yet supported by jaws.

yeah I saw that. I got 5.9 because it said recommended for screen readers

Hi. I used to think AIM was inaccessible, and went for years not having it. All the blind friends I knew used MSN. A few months ago, a blind friend showed me that AIM 5.9 works perfectly well with JAWS. I hope they keep it available. If AIM starts forcing people to upgrade to Triton, that'll cause a mess for us.

hey ok, I've been using the 5.9 for a while now, and does anyone know a quick way to read messages that have been sent, because if it's a long message when it sent jaws only reads the bottom line, and when I shift tab to the message log, it's difficult to scroll up the messages and then when someone sends me a message while I'm trying to read it puts me back down at the bottom of the message log again. Thanks

hmmm. Try hitting insert control W to vurtualize the window. When your done reading that hit escape and you'll be back in the message. That's the only thing that comes to mind.
