[Audyssey] my thoughts on second life so far
hi list. well my thoughts on second life so far. the account sign up was anoying but got it done eventually, why do they have to distort audio captchas, it makes them almost impossible to understand. now i no how sited people feel when they want to read something but have forgotten there glasses. but anyway, that's not a very important point. i've got the client installed, and i have installed eva. one thing the eva devs haven't mentioned on there site but i found it because i went and looked is there is some basic documentation in the eva program files folder. however, it is far from complete and doesn't say if you should start eva first or second life. next, on to the client. well i can sum it up in 3 words completely unuseable without eyes initially at any rate. this is because the client loads, and then as far as i can tell there is no way to navigate around or find out how to enter your login info. oh and back to eva, the developers really haven't done us any favours, irony of ironies, eva has to be registered. and check this out, so helpful, the registration code is available from the second life chat history. mmm well i thought we couldn't read it without eva? so isn't it a bit of a chickin and egg situation? could someone who has got it working please give us some steps to get started? as i'm happy to put in the efort, but lets just say i'm getting a little anoyed, especially with the eva thing, as its free, so why have the devs implemented a registration system that isn't accessible till we get eva working. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] my thoughts on second life so far
Well, I don't think Eva is accessible for blind people. Or, should I say, it wasn't meant to be. However, if you teleport to wheelies via the link, you can get eyes to help you get the dog and cane and then I asume you won't need no, or possibly little, sighted assistance after that. Also, you can login to movable life and chat there with Louise Later. I added her as a friend, hopefully she'll accept.

Re: [Audyssey] my thoughts on second life so far
Oh and also, sorry for even mentioning Eva in the first place. I didn't know the dog made sapi speak the chat messages. I asume that's what it does. Mike, can you give us more info since you are actually the only one of us using it now?

Re: [Audyssey] my thoughts on second life so far
thats the reason I won't actually commit unless I can get things up. ok if I have the links I'll download the programs and do the signup but unless we can get this working. Saying that I wander if someone could do a klango ap for that. klango is accessible, and so whatever app that runs under it will do thhis to.

Re: [Audyssey] my thoughts on second life so far
It is no longer required to use eva for text chatting which is basically what Max the dog does. Once you get on, either Louis, or someone will be there and can give you the script for max the dog. After this, there is an installation package which will install an executable on your machine that will interface with sapi. I can't remember the url but if you add me on skype I can get it to you. Once you are logged in, start this max program. Your default sapi voice will prompt you for your name, type the name which youregestered with in SL. Press enter and it will say Your name is logged in after this in the client type /2 speak on and press enter. At this point you won't here it say that it is enabled but hopefully we can fix this at some point. However, it should start reading you messages people send to you.

Re: [Audyssey] my thoughts on second life so far
At this point it will speak chat messages. Soon it will have the ability to tell you your current location. There is an executable you need to install which will interface max with sapi. Add me on skype if you have it and I can send it, my skype name is miker1988.
