Hi Jim,
I don't know if I have the skype extras manager turned on. I installed
the latest version of Skype this morning but that never came up to install.
If I have Skype installed how do I enable it?

Jim, I might be missing something. In the managed program box, I can only
find Wineyes but not wecom. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Subject: a note to window eyes 7.0 beta one users. using skype.
Hello,
As everyone now knows the window eyes beta 1 for 7.0 was released
yesterday.
There is now scripting support for that beta. There is now a skype
script
that uses the skype API to get access to the information from skype.
This has a number of advantages. The API calls will not change very much
from version to version. So no matter what happens with the user
interface
the window eyes scripts will not have to be reworked every time skype
changes something. More information can be provided that is not provided
threw the tray alerts. For example window-eyes will tell you when a user
has signed out what the on line status is etc.
The only problem is that you have to do two things to get this to work.
First you must install the skype extras manager. This is the default
when
installing skype. If you don't have this installed you will get a nasty
little error message from window-eyes about a vb script run time error.
If
this happens run the skype setup again. Click the options button and
then
tab over to install extras manager. Check this box and go ahead with the
install like you normally would. Now if you should go in to the advanced
section of option never ever ever disable the check box that reads
automatically start extras manager.
Now when skype starts it should ask if you want to allow wecom to
access
skype. Select always and press enter.
If this does not happen you will not get an error from window-eyes any
more
but it will not be able to access the skype API.
So now we will need to tell skype to do this.
To do this open the skype main window. Press alt t for toos and arrow up
to
options.
Press enter here.
Now arrow down in the tree tell you find advanced. Ok now tab over to
manage programs access to skype. Press space bar.
Now you will be in the list of programs that have requested skype access.
Now there is a problem with tracking this list gw micro is already aware
of
this problem and they assure me they are looking in to it. So now what
you need to do is press ensert pluss. This will route the mouse to the
list
box. Now you need to press ensert page up tell you here wecom. Press the
slash key to click on this option.
If a dialog comes up asking question about wecom like should it be run
hidden etc press escape. Now tab over to change and select the option in
the list that says allow this program to access skype. Click ok click ok
again and click save.
Now you will have all the support you need from the skype scripts.
Anything you want to see added to the scripts for skype send them to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hope this information is helpful.
p.s one thing I would love to see is message review. Meaning the ability
to
pres a key and see the ten most recent messages.
A typing sounder would also be nice indention to hearing the spoken
message. Note we will not luse this in beta four with window eyes
because
the api will still provide this information.
