I haven't tried it yet.  Has anyone else gotten NVDA to work with 
Outlook?

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

1968-1986

Have you managed to get NVDA to work sensibly with Microsoft 
Outlook?

I have a friend who uses GW Skype, and it seems a lot more 
confusing than
the JAWS scripts.  From what I hear, a lot of people don't like 
it.  I'm
sticking with the JAWS scripts, and NVDA, which needs no scripts 
to work
with Skype.  By the way, I just downloaded NVDA this week as a 
backup screen
reader in case JAWS crashes or does something weird or I don't 
like how JAWS
is interacting with a certain program.  It works very well! Any 
thoughts?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GW Micro Launches GWSkype
Fort Wayne, Indiana (December 19, 2011) - GW Micro, Inc.
(<http://www.gwmicro.com>www.gwmicro.com) announced a major  
innovation
today for the blind and visually impaired community.
GW Micro,
developers of Window-Eyes, the most powerful screen reader 
available, have
developed GWSkype - a Window-Eyes app that makes Skype accessible 
to all
blind and visually impaired people who use a Windows computer.
Skype is a peer-to-peer service that allows users to call and 
message others
via the Internet.  Skype users may also call other landlines for 
a fee.
While Skype has been around for years, its constantly changing 
user
interface has been extremely difficult for blind and visually 
impaired
users.
"Each
time the user interface changes, we have to completely write new 
a new
Window-Eyes app to account for the changes,"
said Dan Weirich, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GW 
Micro.
"These constant
changes make it difficult or impossible for blind and visually 
impaired
consumers to continue using the Skype service."
The new GWSkype app will always make the Skype service available 
to blind
and visually impaired computer users regardless of new versions 
of Skype
that are released.  The GWSkype app is a Window-Eyes app and 
demonstrates
the power of Window-Eyes apps unmatched by any of its 
competitors.  As
Christmas is approaching, GW Micro is releasing the GWSkype app 
to all blind
and visually impaired users who are running Windows at no cost.  
So, even a
consumer not running Window-Eyes can still download and use the 
GWSkype app.
"We believe that this is a special time of year and we want to 
give back,"
said Weirich.
"GWSkype is a special gift from GW Micro to all blind and 
visually impaired
users of Windows".
The GWSkype app can be downloaded at

/gwskype.
You can
download the GWSkype live webinar and product demonstration at
<http://www.gwmicro.com/podcast>www.gwmicro.com/podcast.
GW Micro has been a trusted pioneer in the adaptive technology 
industry
since 1990, and continues to lead with innovative, customer 
driven
solutions.
