Marianne: Where did you get the Skype scripts?
I have used Skype once or twice, but with sighted assistance, and want to be able to do so independently. I use Jaws 14 on my Windows 7 home computer, and Jaws 16 with Windows 7 on my work laptop.

Cc: Marianne Denning Subject: Re: You need to update Skype. NOT! My job requires me to use Skype on a regular basis and I do nothave any problems with it. I run the Skype scripts because it makes moving quickly in Skype much easier. On 6/20/15, Robin Frost via Jfw <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > My goodness all of this excitement.
