Greetings,
With the release of Leopard I am finding myself migrating to the Mac more
than I have been able to previously, mainly because terminal now reads well
with VoiceOver which is where I spend quite a lot of my day as a sysadmin.
I thought I would just email the list for some feedback on messenger
clients.
I mainly require access to Jabber as we use it for internal messaging at
work, but also access to MSN and GoogleTalk would be most helpful.
Everyone else at work is using Adium, so I have installed that which seems
to connect to the Jabber server just fine, but I am unable to get the
contacts list to read correctly ... it just announces "available" with out
the contacts name.
Also in conversation windows it isn't reading what the other person is
messaging back.
Is anyone else using Adium, and if so are there any tricks you may pass on
to assist me please.
It is highly possible that there is something simple to do to get VoiceOver
to read the information I am missing, I am basically taking the learn as I
go approach, so I certainly don't know VoiceOver as well as Window-Eyes.
The other alternative of course is Ichat which from reading this list is
very accessible with VoiceOver.
Having never used Ichat before, I am unsure weather it will work with Jabber
/ MSN / GoogleTalk, so any information on this subject would also be
appreciated.
I apologize for what might be a fairly simple issue, however I am hoping
that someone will have some answers for me.
Thanks,
Mitchell
