[gui-talk] SKRead Updated to version 2.3

[Chipmunks]

Sean Randall's SKRead Utility has been updated to version 2.3 beta.

Among the features new in this version is the ability to set speech 
rate, pitch and volume and a hotkey to repeat the last message spoken.

SKRead can be downloaded from

For all those that have not heard of SKREad  it is a small utility 
plugin for skype that reads out various events such as call status, 
contact status information or skype chats. It can use any sapi 5 tts 
engine installed on a system. It is screenreader independent and 
reads out most if not more information than the jaws scritps for 
skype while being a lot more configurable than the jaws scritps in 
what is to be read.

While probably primarily of interst to users of screenreadersother 
than jaws this may also be an option for users of older jaws versions 
or for those who want more configurability of speech than the jaws 
scripts currently offer.

I am a jaws user and do use the jaws scritps for easier operation of 
the skype interface but rely on SKREad rather than skype watch for a 
lot of the events and status information.

Cheers,

Doris
