Hi Anders, No, stuff is labeled, but the interface is very clunky, there’s no doubt about that. But when a phone call comes in, say from your flute teacher, you can just hit tab and then VO-Space to answer the call with voice only. I think you can just press Enter to answer with video, but I

Re: Skype on mac or Ios.

Hi Anders, I use Skype on the Mac pretty regularly, and though it’s not my favorite app, it is usable. I don’t do anything fancy with it. I just use it to take phone calls. But it works for that. As for IOS, I have Skype on my phone, but don’t use it much, so someone else can probably give

Hi, when you receive a call, you should get a dialog pop up, with answer being the default button, so simply pressing return will answer. The way I use Skype is to use VO-J to jump me between the table and other parts of the window. So I interact with the table and find where it says contacts,

There's a table on the far left; interact with it, vi-down to recent, and under that you will find any pending contact requests. When you get a call, a dialog appears; pressing enter will answer it. To hang up, go to the Skype app and use cmd-shift-h, and cmd-shift-m to toggle the mute status

Vo+J is your friend when accessing chat history and when going from table to table. Also, keep in mind that when you're sitting in a chat window on skype, it won't make the sound to let you know a new message has come in. So you'll probably want to command+tab away from the application while
