Hi, first we are on five beta. Second skype is doing a wonderful job keeping things accessible so there is no need to do anything except report problems when we find them. For example without using the mouse the quality feedback dialog only reports star button. Hth

As someone had mentioned here, a lot of governements doen't spend a cent to provide disabled people with anything at all, it's the case here in Morocco too. But i think at the same time that yeah technology is flying, and of course if we can not afford to fly after it, we'll be left so far behind... I have a suggestion: Can't we start a pitition asking for more accessibility in the coming skype versions? Skype used to do very well in terms of accessibility especially with dug scripts and we need them to keep what they have started in versions 2.x and 3.x. I think they might consider our needs if they get informed.

After all it's free and is improving by the day. For most users the current stable release, 2010.1, will fit their needs. The daily snapshots (builds) contain display hooking, which uses techniques to communicate with the application directly, rather than using MSAA code. Staying on topic, this could mean Skype menus are fully accessible. Just my £0.02 worth. >> >> >> Signed by Chris Hallsworth >> E-mail and Facebook: [email protected] >> MSN: [email protected] >> Skype: chrishallsworth7266 >> Twitter: http://twitter.com/christopherh40 >> >> On 27/06/2010 11:56, Lyn& Twinny wrote: >> >>> Jim, >>> >>> I think you need to take into consideration that not everybody has the money to upgrade their computers. I personally agree with you to some extend but it's not fair for you to talk that way considering that some people really can't afford the luxury of a new computer, let alone a screen reader which costs an arm and a leg unfortunately. If you are able to afford all this, then that's great but not everyone is in the same situation as you are. The other thing is that there are probably people from different countries on this list and some governments do not help blind people buy a new computer or a screen reader so that also needs to be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, not everyone is fortunate and we all need to remember that instead of bashing those who don't upgrade their skype, computers, Jaws and what not. >>> >>> Lyn& twinny >>> >>> ********** >>> Email& MSn: >>> [email protected] >>> Skype: >>> keanemaniac >>> klango: >>> keanemaniac >>> facebook: >>> www.facebook.com/lyn.bordeaux33 >>> (Please say who you are and where you got my info if asking to share >>> details, thank you) >>> >>> Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
