Ok, before that message spawns a riot, let me explain something please... My understanding is that Microsoft, owners of Skype, will begin sending text advertisements while you are in a call. I see absolutely no evidence that Microsoft is planning to call you or cause you to receive any surprise calls at all. In fact, the info I have seen explicitly says the advertising will be quiet, i.e., no sound.
The main question for us is, of course, whether the text will speak with screen readers. I generally write the scripts to speak alerts the user has chosen to allow on screen, but if advertisements are to appear without the user allowing it explicitly, I do not plan to have the ads speak through JAWS.

They will track certain of the information they know about you and connected people. The kind of advertisements will be sent accordingly. Skype ain't gonna be free in future, advertisements is the price. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
