Re: [orca-list] Skype on Linux

Hi Raphael,

I would love to migrate from Skype, seeing how it moves away from 
accessibility. Unfortunately, my office use Skype extensively for 
communication.

At the moment I don't have a choice.

Thank you for your alternative suggestion. I also look into team talk 
(http://bearware.dk/) which seems popular among visually impaired users. 
I guess at the moment I still need to boot my windows box just for skype 
(haha)

Best Regards
