Re: [orca-list] skype accessibility

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Heh this is a little simple hack but yeah it works.
I have wondered for a while how to make the most of it.
This was my first experience with skype on linux and I must say I am 
surprised. Arrowing within edit fields does not work well, there is no 
way on how to read incoming chat messages by letters and words however 
all other skype features are working fine including managing contacts, 
calling, receiving calls, reading notifications etc.

Greetings

Peter
