Hello Group, This message below was sent to me from a list of Window Eyes
users. I was curious about skype, since I have little familiarity with it. It
sounds like an amazing tool. I am just passing it along since it was a good
summary for those who are not that savvy about it. I would ask those of you
experts out there, is there a lot of difference in skype between Jaws commands
and Window Eyes commands? Thanks, Ginny

Skype is a simple, free programme which allows users who have the application
installed on their machines to take part in live audio chats throughout the
World. I have a sister in Dubai, I live in the UK, hence telephone calls are
expensive. I use skype to keep in contact with her on a regular basis. Using
my laptop with an in built microphone and web cam I can talk to her in real
time, just like using the telephone and she can see me and my children on her
screen. Best of all, it doesn't cost anything and we can chat as often, and
for as long as we like.
Skype is really easy to use and can be downloaded from www.getskype.com
Once installed you create a user identity and profile. You request access to
other profiles and they become part of your contacts list. To call a contact
you simply arrow to them in your list and press enter. Incidentally, using the
tab key moves you between your contacts list and an edit box where you can type
user names.
To end a call simply press the escape key.
To answer a call when someone calls you press the alt key, arrow right to call,
down arrow to answer and press enter. You will be told who is calling and if
you want to answer press enter again. If you don't, then press escape.
Anything else you need drop me an e mail.
Michael
