Hi, Personally I use both skype talking and the script. For working with the user interface of skype nothing is better then the jaws scripts. To get information like alerts chat etc. without worrying about changes to the user interface skype talking has you covered. Basically having both gives you a lot of nice options. Hth

I agree with you on using Skype 4.2 with Windows 7. As for Skype Talking vs. scripts, I think the only thing the scripts can do that Skype Talking can't, is helping JAWS users to navigate the Skype Options dialog. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
