Re: Skype For Windows: A Discovery Made

[Dane Trethowan]

To be perfectly honest, I’ve not tried Skype For Windows using Text chats yet 
but the point still remains, I assume that - when you talk of Scripts - you’re 
assuming that everyone is using JAWS? That just ain’t the case.

I use JAWS here and I like it a lot but for those who don’t use JAWS then they 
don’t have JAWS scripts to work with thus those people have two distinct 
options, use Skype and learn about what accessibility is built-in or not use 
Skype at all - or spend a whole heap of extra money just to get JAWS to run 
Skype scripts - .

Hi,
Hmm well not really.
For example you can not get automatic speech in a chat session if you're 
downloading a file without the scripts.

Its great that people are writing scripts but I don’t like to use them when I

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.

Scripts make it much easier. Also I know a few people who still use the GW

RE: accessible audio-video editing software

Try going to a site  andd see if you can find something
there.  The windows software is generally accessible, especially if you know
how to use your mouse keys, but not much hope for the Mac software.

HI, everyone. Our synagogue has  just gotten an on-line streaming
capability. The files which the service creates can be downloaded and
edited. The files contain both audio and video and have the extension .flv .
Does anyone know of accessible software which will let me edit these files?
Note that, although I obviously can't see the video, I want to edit the
files themselves, not extract just the audio.

Interesting, I thought we’d gone beyond using scripts for Skype now, it seems

Its great that people are writing scripts but I don’t like to use them when I

thus don’t have the knowledge of how functions are used in the App itself, only

Internet Radio

[Colin Phelan]

Hi All,

Moving from UK to Southern Ireland

Desparate to find a way of listening to sports commentary in UK as when
listning in Ireland on Tune In Radio on I phone says rights not available
outside of UK and feed is cut.

Is there a way of achieving this either on a stand alone device or a laptop 

Many thanks
