I am sure that everyone knows by now that Skype 4.1 has been released. Those of us who depend on Skype on a daily basis can rejoice because skype has implemented a number of accessibility features, which will make using the new interface much easier. In fact using the new interface, I find that I prefer it over the old. this of course is just my personal opinion for whatever it is worth. It is also good to be able to report that the Skype API has not changed significantly, and therefore window eyes is doing an excellent job of reporting status changes reading chat messages, etc. Unfortunately, the scripts provided by GW micro for Skype have not fared so well when it comes to the user interface. Most controls yield useless feedback and do not report their types. Quite often when navigating through a list control speech is lost completely. These scripts are in desperate need of an update. I hope that GW micro will update these soon . So that Skype 4.1 will be as usable or more usable than it is in jaws for Windows. A report on forthcoming developments would be welcome.
