Clare do you know how to set it up? > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Clare Page" <clare.page at wanadoo.fr >To: "Skypeenglish Mailing List" <skypeenglish at emissives.com >Date sent: Sun, 17 May 2009 21:09:29 +0200 >Subject: [Skypeenglish] SKRead highly recommended!
>Hi! >After my observation a few days ago that Skypewatch doesn't work so well in Skype 4.0 as it did in Skype 3.8, I have installed SKRead, which works well with my Skype 4 and my JAWS 6.20 on a computer with Windows XP. >For the information of those who aren't familiar with it, SKRead gives you lots of information about Skype events. Some of this info is given by Skypewatch with Skype 3.8, such as notifications when a contact comes online or the name of the contact who is calling you when your Skype rings, but SKRead can also give you extra info, for example which contacts have birthdays in the coming two weeks. The info is read by the computer's default Sapi 5 text-to-speech voice, or you can set up another Sapi 5 voice for SKRead if you don't want to use the default one. I can personally recommend SKRead for Skype 4 users, or for users of earlier versions of Skype who have difficulties installing Skypewatch. But no way would I foerce anyone to use it if they don't want to, much as I like it myself! (Smile). >Unfortunately, I can't remember the name or the address of the website I got SKRead from, though, because I simply typed "SKRead" into a popular search engine and then found the download page among the results that came up. But if anyone wants to get SKRead, I'm sure there must be someone out there who can provide the necessary web address. >As usual, I leave it to each reader of this message to decide whether they want SKRead, if they don't have it already, but I can certainly recommend it! >Happy skyping, with or without extra programs! >>From Clare >Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
