Hehehe, that line about freedom was mostly intended to be amusingly philosophical. I actually do sympathize with your plight, as I recently attempted, too briefly to succeed I might add, to figure out which of the myriad Twitter interfaces would make the most sense to start with.
Good luck to you. In any event you came to the right place for help.

Paz y good Wayne -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Lee Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 10:43 AM To: screen access software with skype Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Newcomer confusion on Talking Being the author of the so-called "Doug Lee scripts," (<grin>), here's my position on this threesome of possibilities: Use the scripts if you are using JAWS and want Alt+numbers and/or alt+arrows to manage chats. Btw, Hrvoje, suggestion: Implement arrows/home/end like I did for moving through any number of chats, and to first and last; and if possible, a way of handling links. Use SkypeTalking if you want notification of events like sign-ins, or if you don't use JAWS, or if you prefer its way of handling chats. Use both if you like, but pick one method of handling chats and stick to that. Don't use SkypeWatch anymore, unless you really want to and use an old enough Skype for it to work well. And just for fun, I'll throw in the unmentioned fourth option: Use Clisk, the Command Line Interface for Skype, if you really like command lines, which usually means you've been using computers for over 20 years. :) One final note: This bunch of choices is not really a dilemma, it's just a bunch of choices, rather like you get when buying headsets, or choosing chat programs, or buying laptops, etc... confusing, yes, but the essence of freedom.

There are the Doug Lee scripts which I downloaded for Skype 4.2 with Windows 7 and JAWS 11. They are very helpful. Then we have Skype Talking, which seem to duplicate many of the Doug Lee script functions. In addition, Talking appears to have different commands for the same functions as are performed with the Scripts. Is Skype Talking used instead of the Scripts, in conjunction with the scripts.? If they are used together, which commands should be the primary commands and does one interfere with the other. If there is a site to go to get these things straight it may be helpful for new users. So far I have been exposed to; Skype Watch, Skype Talking and Doug Lee Scripts. Can you see the dilemma? For experienced users of Skype, all of this makes sense but some of us have to start at the beginning. As Jim often reminds us, start with the documentation. However, I don't know if there is documentation to sort out the different options for successfully accessing Skype. In addition, are there functions that Talking handles better the Scripts or vice versa? Wayne Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
