yeah, it's weird that you have to interact with two things. I don't even know why that first one is there, it seems pretty pointless. but so it goes.

ok, so I was close. I knew there were two things or so to interact with, I just couldn't recall.

the chat window is a little weird. when youget a new message, if you VO left arrow and hear main frame, then you interact with that, and once you do you'll hear chat frame. you interact with that too, so there's two interactions in a row. then if you VO shift right arrow, it'll take you to the end of the chat window where you'll see the most recent message. then to reply youhave to stop interacting with both areas and VO right arrow over to the edit field to type your message. it's much easier just to voice chat with skype! lol. the built in mic that comes with the mac is amazing, it doesn't even sound like an internal mic.

Hi all,

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, so I beg your indulgence for raising the issue of using skype with Voiceover once again.

Just to explain where I'm coming from on this. I am a very experienced jaws user who has just started playing seriously with my mac. I'm trying to get the hang of using skype and, if I'm honest, making a pig's ear of it.

Are there any easy ways to navigate around that screen? In particular, I find the chat window very cumbersome to interact with. For example, are there any quick ways to find out what the latest incoming message is?

Thanks much,

Donal
