However, for the moment, due to accessibility problems, vlind and
visually-impaired users are reverting back to version 2, the version that
ends with the final characters 48. The newer versions are not nearly as
accessible.
Also, one of the members of that list has just been contacted by the
software team of Skype, and asked to join them in making Skype accessible
via Microsoft's accessibility platform. So it looks like Skype is committed
to making it's product accessible to those of us who depend on screen
readers to access their great product.
Once again, that e-mail address is:

person.
Come on, all you budding script writers, help us all access Skype as it =

If the scripts are really good and they enable us to access Skype, I =

even pay for the scripts. That's how much I value Skype!
Hope someone can help!
