Once they get it working a lot better it will make skype even more
accessible then the scripts. For example, how many steps do you currantly
have to take to get to a contact request? with GWSkype it pops up on your
screen and you are set on the accept button. You can tab to deny or don't
bother me again.
When adding more people to your conference call you only need press alt
pageup to add additional callers

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] A bit of GW Skype clarification
For those of us who use skype and your scripts, why would we need or even
want the new application?

I have received the following information from what I regard as a
reliable source:
GW Skype is an actual Skype replacement application, not something to
run alongside Skype itself. It is natively accessible and supports
most every Skype function except video at this time. It natively works
with JAWS, Window-Eyes, NVDA, possibly other screen readers, and even
works without any screen reader using Windows' native speech engines.
It is free and does not in any way require Window-Eyes or any other GW
Micro product. It does not require, and technically probably doesn't
support, add-ons like SkypeTalking, Clisk, or screen reader-specific
scripts like my JAWS scripts for Skype. Again though, since GW Skype
is natively accessible, the idea is that those things are simply not
necessary.
Hope this is helpful to all.
