Hi Hrvoje!
I want to thank you for this utility even though I am not in a position to
use it at the moment.
I like the initiative you are showing by developing something relative to
NVDA.
Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [Skypeenglish] SkypeTalking Again for those who didn't received
amessage
Hello all,
I am proud to announce that I've developed an application that brings
better Skype support to NVDA! In fact, this will be alternative to SKRead,
which is discontinued.
So what it does?
SkypeTalking is primarily created for NVDA users, however in the future it
will also support JAWS and Window-Eyes.
The main reason why I've chosen NVDA is because All other screen readers
have already some kind of access to Skype, and they can read
online statuses, incoming chats, incoming calls etc. Well, with
SkypeTalking, now NVDA can too!
Breaf details:
This is SkypeTalking version 0.5, and in this first version it currently
supports the following basic features:
1. Communication between Skype API and nvdaControllerClient -- the
output is given in both speech and braille,
2. Announcement of incoming calls, incoming/outgoing chat messages, and
user statuses including online, ofline, away etc.
3. Announcement of call statuses such as call connected, call dropped,
call finished etc.
4. And it's more to come, including support for other screen readers,
configuration dialog etc. etc.!
This program runs in system tray. In right-click popup menu there are
two options available, About and Exit. They are self-describing, so no
need to talk too much.
The program is OpenSource, though currently access to source code is
only available if you contact me privately until I find an SVN
repository where I'll put my source code. BTW: It's programmed in
Python! Used dependencies are Skype4Py and wxPython, at the moment.
Important!
SkypeTalking.exe needs authorization to access Skype, so you must
unblock SkypeTalking.exe application under tools/options/advanced/Manage
other program's access to skype link before using it! Otherwise, the
application will not work! Please don't say I didn't worn you, and don't
send me any emails that the program is not working before trying to
authorize it for use with Skype!
I hope that SkypeTalking works well with both 3.x and 4.x versions.
Currently I'm using it with Skype 4.2, on Windows XP machine.
The application is portable, and doesn't need to be installed, though I
am planning to make an installer for it in the future.
Project web page and source code SVN repository is at:
http://skypetalking.googlecode.com
Download link for SkypeTalking version 0.5 is:
http://skypetalking.googlecode.com/files/SkypeTalking0.5_Portable.exe
Extract somewhere and enjoy! Note, if you move program to any other
place, it may happen that you will have to reauthorize it like it is
case with Miranda with Skype.
Happy skyping with NVDA!
