The Pidgin client can access a number of protocols including Skype via a plugin under Linux. But as another list member has pointed out, Skype is currently not accessible on its own under Linux.
But if anyone is interested, they can find more information at the below link. http://www.live.gnome.org Take care James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerth Jaanim?e" <[email protected]> To: "screen access software with skype" <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 2:16 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] OT: Pidgen for Windows accessible? Hi, I have been told that making calls with pidgin is possible,but you have to turn of the auto regulation of sound devices in skype. Under Linux, you have to use sighted assistance for that, because skype for Linux doesn't work with screenreaders at all. I haven't tried it myself, so I cannot guarantee that it works.
