Skype for iPhone Now Features Accessibility for VoiceOver Users
Skype, the popular VOIP client used by a vast number of visually impaired
computer users, has been available on the iPhone and iPod touch for quite
some time, but contained an inaccessible contacts list, rendering the app
virtually useless. Skype has recently addressed this problem, and the
application is now very accessible for both text and voice chats.
Using the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the Contacts screen,
you can choose to have the display only show contacts who are currently
online. Additionally, double tapping on a contact’s name will show their
current availability.
Skype for iPhone requires a WiFi connection, though Skype claims to have a
version ready that will run on 3G networks if it is approved by Apple.
