You can add sounds and speech notifications to events. In preferences, there is an Events tab, and you will find a table you need to interact with. The VO keys and h will identify the items in the table and you then have to vo right arrow to the first button, which is add an action to this event. Note that you can only add one action at a time, so if you want a sound and speech, you have to do so twice and use the pop up button to identify what action you want. If it is a sound, you have a pop up button that gives you several options. You can even customize this. It's not completely a snap to achieve, but it can be done. Hats off to the developers of this app.

Take Care

how about when someone sends you a message, is there a sound for that?

The tone which goes up means a person has just signed in, and the other sound means someone signs out. You can change this in the preffences if you want to. The "system has new dialog" means someone has signed in too. I don't know why VO is unable to read who has signed in, but I hope that will be fixed soon.

Hope that helps.

Subject: Re: the new adium beta


This is a long shot, but I have a feeling hwat's happening, is a contact is comeing online, or going offline, not totaly sure, mine is saying the same thing, and i have no idea to get at whatever it is that may be the new dialog. I find when i have Adium up, that it's also happening when somebody signs into Skype as well. Could that be something to do with Growl. I have a feeling that's what it is, but I'm not sure.

Hey guys, anyone running the new adium beta? I'm noticing something interesting. I'm hearing a chime tone, one goes up and one goes down. It's a tripple chime. I have no idea of the event that it's doing, all my system says is system has new dialog, but i can't find the mesage it is putting up.
Also is there a way to tell when you have a new message?

Thanks,
Jed
