Harry, I can't give any suggestion on FB or chat clients however, I use Voiceover exclusively with FB chat on the main site and it works well. It helps that each time someone starts a chat with you, you'll receive an audio signal. If you move VO focus away from the FB chat area and you're reading or writing something at a different part of the site, you'll always receive said audio cue letting you know person has responded to your chat message or that someone has begun a new chat with you.
For the most part, friends start chats with me. It use to be easier to start chats prior to about a year ago when there was a list of every person online at the time. Each link was labeled a friend's name and you could simply clicked to activate any link you wanted within the list and a new chat window would open up right there with an option just below, I seem to recall, for when you wish to close the window. Nowadays, I still see the list of links labels Friends On Chat however to whom each link corresponds is not labeled. However, just before the list begins, there is a link which reads Show Sidebar. If you activate that link and move VO to the bottom of the FB page, there you can find a list of links with your friends who are online or whether they are idol but still logged in. You can move through this clearly labeled list and pick the friend with whom you wish to chat. When you click on the name, a new chat window opens and you can begin to chat. I hope that helps should you wish to chat on the main FB site with Voiceover.
