I tried Skype yesterday with JAWS 15 and I still didn't know who was
signing on or off.
I don't know if I have to do anything to make that happen.

I have been using GW connect for several years already because Skype is such
a moving target. The only reason I took another look at Skype itself is
because Eric mentioned updated support for the program. It does seem to be
as advertised and I do need to review the hotkeys ETC but it was more
manageable in the few minutes I had to mess around with it last evening. I
will look at it again today some time. I try and review any and all updates
in JAWS that pertain to me in order to give myself as complete a picture as
possible.
Skype itself has video support which is not a major deal but the last time I
spoke to my brother he insisted I turn on my camera. Then he complained it
wasn't in HD, some peoples' kids. I told him that he should already know
what I look like since he only lives across town from here.
I might go back to using Skype more often depending on some other factors,
but without scripting support from JAWS it would be worthless for the most
part. Quite sad if you think about it, just because an interface can be made
all fancy why do all of that work to put out a free program.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from
a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Hi David.
What about GWConnect?
GWConnect is a fully accessible Skype client.
I use GWConnect for Skype and it works fine so far for text chat and
calling.

I should also add and sorry for forgetting that all of my interactive
scripts have transferred over so all of the customizations I have
implemented are working properly.
Running this list causes me to bring up my menu for approving held messages
at least 20 times a day if not more. If anybody is curious how I do that
there is a tutorial on the server.
So in short the beta seems fine so far. I just wish the Skype people
wouldn't go so far out of their way to make the program as confusing as it
is right now.

So far for me it is quite responsive, quick to load on this 64 bit system
and even though fancy voices normally don't really matter to me I must say
that the new expressive voices are very good. Last year when those voices
came out I was working with one of them and I found out about the capital
letter problem at an in opportune moment, so I am glad to see that has been
fixed.
I'm still kicking the tires so to speak but I have no problems at all so far
boys and girls.
