Greetings,

The following event has been posted to the GW Micro Upcoming Events 
<http://www.gwmicro.com/events>  page:

Name: Free Online Training - Using Skype for Windows Desktop with Window-Eyes
When: Thursday, August 14, 2014
Where: Online
What: Online Training
Who: Marc Solomon and Stephen Clower
Comments: Skype is a popular, free, and cross platform solution that enables 
people to communicate by voice, video and text over the Internet. In 2004, the 
Skype application programming interfaces (APIs) were released and allowed 
software developers to create unique products that provided access to many of 
Skype’s services such as voice calls, instant chat, file transfers and more. 
GWConnect was one such product that many in the accessibility community 
embraced for its simple, elegant and keyboard friendly user interface. On 
August 4, 2014, support for the SkypeKit API was terminated and caused all 
applications that used this API to stop functioning including GWConnect.
Since GWConnect is no longer a viable option, the Ai Squared team thought it 
would be helpful to provide a free training on how to use the Skype for Windows 
desktop client with Window-Eyes. This online training will cover a number of 
useful topics including how to download, install, sign in, configure and use 
Skype to complete the most essential tasks. This webinar will also serve as a 
public forum to receive your feedback concerning the areas in Skype you find 
difficult to use with Window-Eyes as this feedback will help us identify and 
prioritize future development tasks.
Whether you are a seasoned veteran, or a beginner to Window-Eyes, our hope is 
that Ai Squared’s online training webinars will enhance your Window-Eyes skill 
set and provide you with the helpful information you need to be more productive 
and successful on your computer.
This month's training webinar will take place on Thursday, August 14th, 2014 at 
2 P.M. Eastern Time (19:00 UTC or 18:00 UTC during DST) and will last 
approximately one hour in length.
There will be a corresponding keyboard shortcut reference, study guide 
worksheet and answer key made available prior to the webinar that participants 
can download from GW Micro's webinar training archive located at: 
http://www.gwmicro.com/webinars.
