It was actually a piece of meeting software that is called Join.Me. The program is completely inaccessible, but at least the talking mouse could let me know where the program was on the screen and some of the options it contains. When I try using the JAWS cursor, nothing is read, so I am really happy to see this feature.
Unless the manufacturer makes significant changes, the program I mentioned will never be accessible, but at least I can see what's there now.

Great news! What kind of program was that if you don't mind me asking. What have other people tried as well?
