Not sure how friendly this is for visually impaired people, but a recent newcomer is Slidepoint. 


http://www.slidepoint.net/

At least it doesn't use Flash, and isn't PowerPoint.
The only accessibility app I know for PowerPoint is PowerTalk, which just reads out text from slides, which has its uses, but not many!
As for video chat, sorry, haven't ever tried any of them. I know Yahoo mail can detect a webcam in use.

Subject: [access-uk] Question: Powerpoint/Skype like applications for the visually impaired? 



HI,

I am working with a visually imparied artist. We are doing a group video
chat presentation. I was wondering if you knew of any applications or
software similar to powerpoint or http://prezi.com/ that is friendly for the 
visually impaired.

We are looking at using group Skype for the video session. We have play
around with google hangouts. She uses Skype often in her day job. She finds it 
usable but not great for the visually impaired.

Do you have any recommendations on other video chats applications?

Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Pollie
