I am already a member of this list. the main function of this list is to
provide window-eyes support.
of course if some one did work on a window-eyes app then it would be on
topic for this list because it would be an app for window-eyes much like the
jaws scripts that would be using standard skype.
the advantage of course would be that such an app could have all the
functionality of skype talking an alternative user interface for skype much
like gw skype and of course provide access to the standard user interface of
skype. one app for window-eyes users that would provide the best of all
worlds. I really hope that doug as the creater of the jaws scripts would
take on such a project as he already has extensive knolidge of skype the
api and has worked with the window-eyes com object.
if he is not interested I guess if I want such an app I will have to start
learning more about all three subjeccts. as I will be getting a new laptop
and going to see my sick father in a few weeks I guess I would be able to
find the time to perhaps work on this. so what you think doug interested in
such a undertaking. let me say again that I feel you would be the best man
for the job. also I feel that the support of the skype app for window-eyes
being dropped leaves window-eyes users with only one choice. gw skype is a
wonderful salution but it does have limentations and forces users of
window-eyes to use an alternative client verces being able to use skype it
self. also as new features are added to skype there is going to be a delay
before a new skype kit can come out with support of these new features. for
example facebook support video calling etc is not supported buy the kit.
if a window-eyes app was created window-eyes users would have the support as
the new app was updated to include that support. also as window-eyes
supports menus and dialogs in the app creation those window-eyes users who
have a problem with the complex skype user interface would have access to
an alternative user interface.
also all the features using the API that skype talking uses could be put in
to one app thus no other programs would be needed to access skype accept for
window-eyes it self.
for those of you who do not know a window-eyes app is much like jaws
scripting that is created in the programers langwige of choice. most of the
apps are created using visual basic scripting. unlike jaws there is no
proprietary scripting langwige. also window-eyes apps can be created to
have windows menu and dialogs just like any other windows program.
so like I said doug interested?

Actually I messed up. It is the gw support list that gw micro is
directing everyone to so even though it is high traffic try posting your
questions there as gw micro are not on this list.

hi, Sarah that is cool when you do I will forward it to the gw-info list.
of course this means you are probably going to at some point lose your
subscribers that use window-eyes. unless of course some one wants to take
over work on the window-eyes Skype app. Doug any interest? I think that
if window-eyes could get the support that jaws already has with native
Skype you might see some users stick with it. also the window-eyes Skype
app already uses the Skype api. so adding all the features that Skype
talking already has to the app as well as providing grate user interface
support might just make window-eyes users want to use the native Skype
client.

hi,
this is just a note to inform window-eyes users that the Skype app for
window-eyes is no longer being developed. the app provides information on
gw Skype and informs the user that the app is no longer being updated.
so unless someone else at some point takes over the work on Skype it self
and window-eyes gw Skype is going to be the main choice for window-eyes
users.
I expect that more and more users of window-eyes will be using gw Skype.
considering the fact that Sarah has decided that all conversation on
this alternative Skype client is off topic for this list we may find soon
that there is not much point for window-eyes users to remain on this
list. with this in mind I am going to urge Sarah to reconsider this stand
and perhaps make an exception for gw Skype. perhaps the exception could
cover clients that interface directly with the screen reader or be
designed for blind people spasificly. this will avoid the problem of
allowing every Skype alternative on this list. be that as it may as I
said earlier Skype is no longer being worked on buy Jeff or gw micro.
hth .
