Hello Oriol,

I have not discovered any keyboard shortcuts in the app, as yet.

hI mark:
Have they already made keyboard shortcuts to move from contacts to message, etc 
etc?
I find it very, very very clunky to have to tab around as much as I had to in 
the version of skype that was released about 2 months ago.

thanks!

Mark on the Latest Version of Skype for Mac

2018-06-14 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

Some time ago, I thought I read on this list that the more recent versions
of Skype (by Microsoft) were not terribly voiceover friendly.

Well, during the past week, I've had occasion to use the latest version of
Skype on my Mac and I must say that I am extremely pleased with what
Microsoft has done.  

I find the app completely VoiceOver friendly, easy to use, easy to
understand, and best of all, containing some accessibility features geared
towards those of us who are low vision.  For example, I particularly like
the new color themes one can select to vary display contrast.  

Also, I was delighted to discover that the Mac version of the app now
mirrors the layout of Skype for iOS making it easier, in my opinion, to
switch between the two platforms.

So, if you haven't used the latest version of Skype for Mac with VoiceOver,
perhaps you should consider giving it a try.

Mark
