Hello,
have you tried working with the compact view? You will need the compact
view anyway, because this is what the Window-Eyes scripts are optimally
configured for. This in my opinion is a problem with the Window-Eyes
scripts by the way, due to the fact that you have to use compact view with
the other accessibility options such as Job Access With Speech for Windows.
It doesn't matter what you you are in the scripts work. It seems to me that
AI squared needs to update the scripts for Skype and provide shortcut keys
to the most important sections of the application like the scripts for Job
Access With Speech do because they! do this. The Skype experience using Job
Access With Speech for Windows is extremely keyboard friendly, more so than
with any other screen reader. Note this is not a promotion of Job Access
With Speech for Windows. This is simply an acknowledgment of an area where
it does well. I should also note that these are the third-party scripts I
speak of, not the built-in scripts for Job Access With Speech for Windows.

The main benefit of GWC for me was that it was smaller and less cluttered.
The Skype client is full of unnecessary eye candy and junk and I don't
really see much of a way to get rid of it.
Oh well; no use crying over spilt milk, I reckon.

Hello,
yes, we definitely have confirmation from AISquaired it was Mark from
AISquaired who boasted the initial message. We also have confirmation from
Microsoft, if you would like to go back and check the Skype garage blog,
you will note that they recommend that everybody upgraded from older
versions of Skype, because ! as of Monday, all older versions of Skype
will no longer be supported. ! This includes all applications using the
SkypeKit. You will also note that in the original message posted by Mark
from AI squared. He indicates that everyone who has purchased a
subscription to GW connect will receive a proactive refund. Therefore, no
one has any cause to be upset. You will also note that GW micro when it
released Window-Eyes 8.4 started working on scripts for Window-Eyes for
Skype. At that time. They indicated that the SkypeKit would not be
supported by Windows 8. They also indicated that it was very likely that
at some point, the Skype skip would no longer be supported at all, it was
clear from the message posted by Mark from AISquaired that they attempted
to work out some deal with Microsoft so that they might be allowed to
continue to use the Skype kit. Unfortunately, they were unable to work out
some sort of amicable arrangement. Therefore, GW connect will no longer be
supported as of Monday, August 4, we have all the confirmation possible.
Consi! dering the fact that Skype is extremely accessible using
Window-Eyes and all of the other major screen readers that I know of. I
don't see this as being much of an issue. Yes, the GW connect interface
might have been slightly simpler to use. However, you really don't see
much of an accessibility benefit from using GW connect overusing Skype.
This of course is just my opinion. However, I can verify this opinion
because I have been using Windows 8 and GW connect never worked here and I
have been using Skype for several years now with absolutely no problems.
This is why I myself to use GW connect very rarely. I was very pleased.
Therefore, when GW micro began working on Skype scripts versus a
nonmainstream solution to the Skype problem due to the fact that with
every other screen reader, I was able to use Skype and I had access to it,
but with Window-Eyes if I wanted good access. I needed to use GW connect
because there were no scripts for this program that were updated and wo!
rking. I'm sorry I would rather see a company devoted time and resource! s
to providing me access to mainstream applications versus providing me with
an accessibility backdoor to a service. This is why I am not and never
will be a socialized customer, nor will I ever owned a product such as
chicken nugget, nor do I use the socializer, I would rather use the
mainstream applications that everyone else uses the only adaptive software
that should be necessary to use mainstream applications should be my
screen reader once again. Of course, this is my own personal opinion, but
it seems to me that the latest GW connect incident bears out this
conclusion, it is unlikely that Skype will ever stop support for Skype as
long as it exists. Therefore, I will always be able to use Skype itself
without resorting to an accessibility product designed specifically for my
own personal needs or the needs of my personal subgroup.
I hope this hel! ps, and thank you for reading.

GW Connect uses the SkypeKit to make its connection to the Skype
servers. It is the heart of GW Connect.
Microsoft is no longer supporting any product that uses the
SkypeKit. As of Monday GW Connect will no longer connect to the
Skype servers.
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,
What’s this I hear about support for Skype kit ending? What is Skype
kit? I have both standard skype and gw connect installed on my
computer and have never had to purchase anything extra to get either
to work. Are you telling me that as of Monday Augast 4, my free
vers! ion of gw connect will stop working? This can’t be. I depend
on gw connect because of its accessibility and ease-of-use. Although
standard Skype is not as user friendly, I still use it, in
conjunction with mp3 Skype recorder. So what does this mean for
those of us who use the free client on our pcs that we’ve downloaded
from the app central site?
