Yeah, agreed. Also, you hold back. You don't upgrade if you keep up the old

to use AIM with Face Book. It kind of applies because well the AIM that works
with JAWS is now old. The new 1 doesn't. Would be epic if it did, but too bad
Se la vi. Excuse my miss spelling of French. Lol. But I just love that
expression. So had to use it. Lol. The best solution would be in my example
with AIM is to talk to those guys and ask them to take a looksy at things. I
agree scripts can make things a little easyerr, but Even eric says that Scripts
aren't the end all be all way. One should try and insentivize the developers to
make the software work fore the blind. Ahem Power DVD fits here.

You’re right, use what you want but why on earth do people just have to make
mountains out of molehills and make things difficult? Skype is a continually
evolving platform and it won’t be long before GW Connect doesn’t work with
Skype, I’ve not used the utility for a good while and - for all I know - it may
not even be compatible with parts of Skype now, just bit bite the bullet and
have a look at the Skype Interface, its very user friendly and straight
forward, actually my favourite Windows Screen Reader for Skype is NVDA so that
alone shows how much the software has improved accessibility wise.
You can also do further tweaking to make Skype look the way you want it to look
by playing with the view shortcuts.
My favourite Skype platform of all is for the Mac and the cordless phone I’ve
been describing is proving a very convenient tool for those times when I’m not
near a computer and wish to make and receive calls.

GW Connect was discontinued long ago, it can't even be gotten any
longer, why recommend something that doesn't exist or isn't supported
and may not even work with the later operating systems?

Interesting, I thought we’d gone beyond using scripts for Skype now, it seems
to me at any rate that the latest version of Skype for Windows is very
accessible indeed, has been like that for quite some time and full credit to
Microsoft addressing many accessibility issues.
Its great that people are writing scripts but I don’t like to use them when I
can avoid doing so as they isolate the user from the way the running App
actually works so therefore you’re tied to one system or one Screen Reader and
thus don’t have the knowledge of how functions are used in the App itself, only
my opinion of course.

Hi,
If you're using the scripts you can just press ctrl shift d to enable or
disable the dialpad.

Emne: Skype For Windows: A Discovery Made
Hi!
For those who use Skype For Windows, I discovered that the feature to generate
tones whilst on a call now works, in previous versions of Skype For windows
getting this feature to work was problematic at best - in most cases I couldn’t
get the function to work at all -.
Anyway Microsoft have certainly fixed the problem so here’s how to activate the
function.
Whilst on a call use the tab key to move to the “Dial Pad” button and press
space, from here you can use the top row of numbers on your keyboard to enter
responses to automated bank systems or whatever, you can even paste a string of
numbers into the Edit box which comes up when the “Dial Pad” button is pressed
and have the appropriate tones entered for you by Skype automatically.
