My Team Talk Review Using a Screen Reader

Today, I have written a review of Team Talk which is a free voice chatting client. You can read the review by
clicking here
to go to my review on the
Access Watch
website.

If that link does not work for some reason, you can still read this review. It is below:

user:
KL
computer: Pentium 4
operating system: Windows XP Home
screen reader: JFW 5.10 and 7.0
rating: 5
comments: I think Team talk is an excellent voice chatting client because it is free and it has very good quality. It works with all screen readers and
is 100 percent accessible with out any scripts, maps, or Set Files. There are really cool features such as file transfering. The file transfering feature
is different than other voice chatting clients because in each channel you can have different file
lists so if there was a games channel, there could be some games and if there was a music channel, there could be some music production work that someone
has done. Another feature is that there are globle hot keys for changing the volume. One other feature that I would like to mention is that there is 3D
panning support but not only for a soundcard that supports it but for any soundcard whether it supports it or not. The developer is a very nice guy and
he is very open to your feedback
on accessibility or your request for new features. If you want to try this free program, you can go to the
website
to download it.
I hope you have fun talking to people around the world with this amazing piece of software.

If you have any comments on how to make the review better, you can leave a comment.
