Re: Out of the Loop with Skype On a sidenote, anyone using Skype/discord with orca on Linux can help me determine why I can't do anything while in their windows? URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/491004/#p491004 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Thanks for all the feedback, folks. Bearing in mind that I really only use NVDA when Jaws doesn't work, or for certain games/certain tasks, I would prefer to stick with Jaws and Skype, and that's why I said what I did in post 1. So I'm not so worried

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype you don't *have* to make a server, I personally make one because I do music and it's a great way to get everyone together and channels help make things organized. Bots can do a lot of automation for you as well. But you can do regular groups as well, just

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype See, the thing I don't care for when it comes to things like TeamTalk and Discord is that you have to manage all these servers and junk. Great for group chats I suppose, but not so great when all you want is an IM program. Skype may be a pain in the rear

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Skype for windows works good if you turn off browse mode on NVDA, it actually functions similarly to the classic app, although no quite the same. Only reason i'm still on Skype is because a girl I speak to uses it.. lol.. Discord has gotten way, way way

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Referring to discord,If on Windows, get the Canary builds. For the Macintosh, it works? Though ya have to wait for a moment for it to properly start. (Thanks to a friend of mine for the Mac confirmation.) There is a Linux client for desktops, though haven't

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype most annoying part of this new skype, chatwise, is that I can't use the end key to jump to the latest message. THere's sometimes a jump to last message button, but that is unreliable. Also, for multi line messages, it just doesn't read them as well

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype I use the version of Skype for Windows 10, both on my laptop and on my IPhone. The only real problem I have with it is that trying to add new contacts don't work. I go to add someone's username in, the screen reader and Skype both says they found the person

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype yes, i tried the skype web plugin, and chats worked with it. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/490422/#p490422 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype I thought the miranda skype plugin died? It does still work? I personally tried the UWP version and with NVDA noticed it had some focus problems, would often just jump you who the hell knows where in the message history if you tabbed into it wrong while

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype i use skype 8 too with dlees scripts. as for chats, use miranda with the skype web plugin installed, and you have no lags during opening chats etc. use skype only for calls. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/490345/#p490345 -- Audiogames-reflector

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype For NVDA users, you can turn single letter navigation on/off (with out effecting status of browse/focus mode) by using the NVDA-Shift-Space toggle. It doesn't get much talk sadly, but that command is there.Additionally, both versions of Skype work wonderfully

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype The skype that is in Windows 10 by default, for some reason, does not play sounds when I get messages, so I either have to check every few minutes, or I have to wait for my windows sound skeam to open and close a process really fast, which is quite unreliable

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype In spite of what guys on the FS site says, the UWP version is very good with JAWS too. I know because I use JAWS. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/490224/#p490224 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Hmm. I didn't think JAWS had any support for the UWP version. Doug has written scripts for it, but last I knew they haven't been updated in quite some time. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/490221/#p490221 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Note that the split view mode is no longer exclusive to the Windows 10 app, it is available in the Electron app as well since a few versions. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/490203/#p490203 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype I would be ready to help with any specific. That guide is a great resource and should answer most of the frequently asked questions. I recommend trying both Skype for Windows 10, the one built into your system, and the most often used electron version

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Since you're on 10, the universal app off the Microsoft store also works, and is my own personal go to over Skype 8, just because it actually has the option for split window view if you care about that. No idea how it works with JAWS though, sorry. NVDA full

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype Draq is sadly correct. I'm not sure about jaws, but if you disable browse mode in NVDA it can really help with usability. You can quickly arrow through messages like you could in skype 7.Skype 8 on the hole has a lot of issues as far as lag goes though

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype

Re: Out of the Loop with Skype As far as I'm aware, the Electron version (Skype 8) is superior to the UWP version (Skype for Windos 10) in terms of accessibility. The latest version of JAWS supports Skype 8, but I use Doug lee's scripts.http://dlee.org/skype/electron/skypeelectron.htmAs

Out of the Loop with Skype

Out of the Loop with Skype Hi, folks,I'll keep this short, and apologize if there was a better topic I could've shoved this in.I am a long-time skype user who hasn't monkeyed with it much since about a year ago.I am using Jaws and Windows 10 on a notebook. I have no interest in putting
