Sarah see what I mean? This information would be extremely useful to have on the header. At least how to acquire the program The following information was taken directly from the readme file. What is it? SkRead is a small program, created for users of the Skype Internet Telephony software.
Skype has become amazingly popular, and the blind community are no exception. SkRead will read things that are happening with Skype. At present, it reads call announcements, most chat messages, and contact status changes, as well as contacts as you navigate them in theSkype window, and (new in 2.3) upcoming birthdays. It is not, I hasten to point out, a replacement for a screen reader - but it does fill a niche where the screen reader may not instantly be able to read the name of an incoming caller, when you're focused on a separate window, just as an example. How Does it Work? By using the Skype API (which is a method of sending and retrieving information directly from Skype, provided by it's creators), this program announces various events, per your settings. It is a small and simple program, with no interface per se. You simply need to change the settings, if you wish, run the program, and authorise it to work with Skype. You can acquire this program from the below link. http://randylaptop.com/2009/02/08/jawter-2/#comments -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:skypeenglish-bounces at emissives.com] On Behalf Of Simon Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 8:50 AM To: screen access software with skype Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] skread what's skread?
