If the speaking the menu names when menus are activated in VMware is
important to you, try the scripts I wrote at the web page below. Since
the menus are your only complaint, you must be using the latest Player
3.0. VMware is making vast improvements in accessibility of their products
recently. The scripts package will support the following applications:
- Player 3.0 (free)
- Player 2.5
- Workstation 6.5 or 7.0
- Server 1.0.5
Most users find that the scripts are not necessary for Player 3.0 since it
is so accessible, but feel free to download the self installing package
and install.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Skype versions prefered with JAWS
Freedom Scientific is specifically supporting, or so it would seem,
Skype 4. However, even with Doug Lee's scripts, I noticed the
following issues.
First: After making sure you are online and physically connected to
the Internet, start up Skype, and configure it.
Even after enableing extended keyboared navigation, and pressing
enteer, you will find that Skype, for whatever reason, doesn't speak
if you use the menu bar key witch is in the vast majority of cases
Alt.
JAWS only speaks, "Menu bar." And, "Leaveing menu bar."
I have ben forced to memorize (as I refuse to JAWS cursor around in Skype
four)
Shortcuts may be helpful, and are as follows.
Note: You can apply this to programs such as VMware workstation as
well, with JAWS (similar situation) speaks activated menus just fine,
but not the menus themselves, so it does pay to really learn
shortcuts) because JAWS cursoring to a menu is limited.
Alt+S, Skype. Alt+C, Contacts. Alt+A (Not sure why) Call menu. Alt+V,
View Menu. Alt+T, Tools Menu. Alt+H, Help Menu.
Try those keystrokes, and let me know.
P.s. I have a laptop computer, and cannot recall what the command is
to read the hotkey for a specific control, and this box doesn't have a
number pad on it.
Thanks.
Regards, --Keith
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me off-list
privately, or contact me on Skype.
To add my name to Skype, do so by adding the following:
skypedude1234
That would usually be spoken as SkypeDude1234, but there you are.
