Subject: [nvda] For Skype Users: Introducing SkypeTalking for NVDA, version
0.5!
Hello all,
I am proud to announce that I've developed an application that brings
better Skype support to NVDA! In fact, this will be alternative to SKRead,
which is discontinued.
So what it does?
SkypeTalking is primarily created for NVDA users. All other screen readers
have already some kind of access to Skype, and they can read online
statuses, incoming chats, incoming calls etc. Well, with SkypeTalking, now
NVDA can too!
Breaf details:
This is SkypeTalking version 0.5, and in this first version it currently
supports the following basic features:
1. Communication between Skype API and nvdaControllerClient -- the output
is given in both speech and braille,
2. Announcement of incoming calls, incoming/outgoing chat messages, and
user statuses including online, ofline, away etc.
3. Announcement of call statuses such as call connected, call dropped,
call finished etc.
4. And it's more to come, including support for other screen readers,
configuration dialog etc. etc.!
This program runs in system tray. In right-click popup menu there are two
options available, About and Exit. They are self-describing, so no need to
talk too much.
The program is OpenSource, though currently access to source code is only
available if you contact me privately until I find an SVN repository where
I'll put my source code. BTW: It's programmed in Python! Used dependencies
are Skype4Py and wxPython, at the moment.
Important!
SkypeTalking.exe needs authorization to access Skype, so you must unblock
SkypeTalking.exe application under tools/options/advanced/Manage other
program's access to skype link before using it! Otherwise, the application
will not work! Please don't say I didn't worn you, and don't send me any
emails that the program is not working before trying to authorize it for
use with Skype!
I hope that SkypeTalking works well with both 3.x and 4.x versions.
Currently I'm using it with Skype 4.2, on Windows XP machine.
The application is portable, and doesn't need to be installed, though I am
planning to make an installer for it in the future.
Download link for SkypeTalking version 0.5 is:

Extract somewhere and enjoy! Note, if you move program to any other place,
it may happen that you will have to reauthorize it like it is case with
Miranda with Skype.
Happy skyping with NVDA!
