Hi, I like using skype but I am a window-eyes user not joz. I cant get it to read when people are chating to me. I wonderded if it is me or does window-eyes not work with skype? I can call people on skype but that is all.

You can read skype chat with the mouse pointer but not with your cursor. just the way it is with WE for now.

Word on the street is that window eyes doesn't work well with skype, but the next release of window eyes, I presume it'll be 6.0, will have better support for skype. Window eyes relies on the MSAA support from microsoft, witch is virtually nonexistent, but my understanding of this is that GWMicro is attempting to rectify the problem.
