Skype for Web (Beta) is now available to everyone in the US and UK
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh June 5, 2015

June 5, 2015

Via http://blogs.skype.com/2015/06/05/skype-for-web-beta-is-now-available-to-ev… "today we’re pleased to share more good news for people that use Skype on their browser – Skype for Web (Beta) is now available for all new and existing users in the US and UK. Now, anyone going to Skype.com (or web.skype.com) in the US and UK can sign in and connect to Skype for Web to get to their conversations in an instant without downloading the Skype app. Skype for Web is perfect if you normally use Skype on your mobile, but want to quickly get to your calls and IMs on a bigger screen. Or perhaps you’re sitting at a Windows or Mac computer in an internet café or hotel that doesn’t already have Skype downloaded. If you’re in the US or UK and are using a computer, take a moment to give Skype for Web a try. Just go to Skype.com and join or sign in with your Skype ID and password." Dev Anand

Real Time Captioning-Pilot Study has been funded
by Judith Hellerstein May 4, 2015

May 4, 2015

Dear Technology Task Force Working Group Members, I wanted to report the great news that the Special Budget Request that I put in has been approved and funded by the ICANN Board. This is really great news!! While they did not give us everything we asked for. We had requested a one year pilot with a review after 6 months. Instead the board approved a 6 month pilot with a review after 3 months to determine viability. The goal will be at least three calls/meetings per month to determine viability. The Pilot will begin October 2015. Also good news is that ICANN has recognized that this is not just an ALAC need but a core need for all. It is great that ICANN has recognized the value of captioning technology during meeting support efforts. I will be working with Heidi Ulrich and other staff to figure out how to structure the pilot. Those who are interested in working on creating the pilot, please feel free to email me. When I have more information I will send another email out but just wanted to let everyone know this great news. Best, Judith -- _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail: Judith(a)jhellerstein.com Website: www.jhellerstein.com Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide
