Today, AOL released a public beta of their new AIM for Mac software for the popular AOL Instant Messaging service. The new application, still in beta, includes accessibility with VoiceOver on par with Apple’s own iChat program included with the Mac OS. There are a handful of buttons without labels, though these all report Help tags with VO-H. (Control-Option-H).

Additionally, the application boasts the ability to speak incoming messages automatically, a very handy feature for blind and visually impaired chat users.

To try out the public beta, you can download it from AOL here.
