Basically using the skype api causes problems for jaws itself that would make using it a major problem. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sarah alawami Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 11:30 AM To: 'screen access software with skype' Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] The scoop on SkypeWatch and Skype 4.2 beta Hmm is there not a way for jaws to use the api It does with some of the programs' scripts I use. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Grimsby JR.

WINDOW-EYES IS ABLE TO GET THE INFORMATION from the skype api so all the status indications should work as usual. I will be downloading and testing using jaws and window-eyes and will report what I find with both. It looks like we need to fall back on skread for now for status indication using jaws. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sarah alawami Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 12:25 AM To: 'screen access software with skype' Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] The scoop on SkypeWatch and Skype 4.2 beta I'm putting on my sarcastic mask on for this one. Wonderful! Just wonderful! Anyways thanks for letting us know. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Lee Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2009 6:28 PM To: screen access software with skype Subject: [Skypeenglish] The scoop on SkypeWatch and Skype 4.2 beta I don't use SkypeWatch myself, which is why I never noticed this before, but... Somewhere between 4.1 and the 4.2 beta release, there was apparently a change in the systray alerts for sign ins and sign outs. There is no longer any MSAA text in those. As a result, there is nothing for JAWS or any other screen reader to announce for those, and I am not able to provide the SkypeWatch announcements for sign ins and sign outs in the released Skype 4.2 beta. This is an issue that Skype would have to fix, so I welcome people to contact them about it. Note that SkypeWatch is not entirely dead in Skype 4.2 beta: It should still announce incoming calls and changes in your Skype status. Sorry for the bad news, but unless I missed something, there's nothing to do but get Skype to address this one. -- Doug Lee [email protected] http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group [email protected] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you." --African Proverb Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
