Just saw this and thought some could use it. Not my work I'm just sharing the info. 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, however in the future it will also support JAWS and Window-Eyes. The main reason why I've chosen NVDA is because 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: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4078384/HKSoftware/SkypeTalking0.5_Portable.exe 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! -----Original Message----- From: Vanja Sudar - Email Address: vanja@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 12/02/2010 19:46 Sent To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Email Address: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: twitter and mobiel phone access Which client do you use for MSN and do you use a screenreader?

I'm interested in how people are interacting with twitter with mobiles. I have my phone set up so I can send messages via msn using Vodafone and that's fine, but what I don't want is to set everyone up so they tweet directly to my phone via msn. Ideally I gues s mobile web access would be ideal and I'd be interested to know how people find it best to do this. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
