Nektarios,
Make certain that trackpad commander is turned on. This can be accomplished in
VO utility or by pressing control-option while rotating two fingers on the
trackpad clockwise. rackpad commander can be disabled by pressing the vo keys
and rotating counter clockwise. If you're like me
Eric,
Hmmm, interesting. Unfortunately, I personally do not have enough experience
with Skype in particular to be of much more use on the subject. However, it is
something I am interested in getting up and running soon. I will have to think
about trying an older version in the meantime.

Well, I am not sure about this.
Double tapping with two fingers near the top doesn't work for me, I may be
doing it wrong though, because I am not that familiar with the trackpad yet.
The skype problem is much more annoying though.
Thanks.
Nektarios.

2 things,
you need to set default display to speech.
then in the application configuration list, choose Skype, enter it
in the notifications pulldown, choose message (initial contact), mouse (or the
VO equivalent) the + on the bottom of that screen, and choose growl
notification. this will add a
you have to enable some of the other events in the configuration panel. you
have to add a growl notification to message (initial contact) otherwise it will
not speak the event. once that is done and enabled, each chat will be spoken.

Where did you get growl? I recently discovered that the version that adium

I run Skype here (version 2.8) and the only issues I have with it are
accessibility ones (currently being mitigated by the use of growl). I Still

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I have been looking for a way to cleanly

App trap will nuke an app's associated preferences as well. It's actually a
preference pane. You run this file called AppTrap.prefPane, and it installs a

To present yet another way of skinning this cat, using trackpad commander time
and battery status are easily ascertainable by double tapping the top with two
fingers
and touching near the top on the right side of the trackpad. the clock is just
to the right of battery status.
