There is a great free service provided by Sprint (https://www.sprintcaptel.com/index.asp) for the hearing impaired. With a call-in number, the Sprint operator can call-in to the meeting and provide captions for the hearing impaired person. It is totally free. It's really great. That was one thing I was unable to test, the accessibility of WizIQ. I'm not sure if WizIQ would work with a screen reader for a visually impaired person. Thanks for your comment. Amy Hi Victory,

Someone else also recommended Techinline. I will have to test it out and might recommend it our director so we can save some money (which is always nice :)). Thanks for the information.

From what I've seen, that's probably the most reasonable pricing out there for remote access tools.
