Automatic announcement of incoming chats is working for me in Skype 6. Anyone else having trouble with that with current scripts?

I upgraded to Skype version 6.0 yesterday, and I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing problems with the typing sound indicator. I've also noticed that during a chat JAWS doesn't announce the chat messages as they appear, thus causing me to use Alt+numbers to check for new messages. Just thought I'd point that out. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Doug Lee" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 6:31 AM To: "ryan chou" <[email protected]> Cc: "screen readers' access with skype." <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Time for a little line in the sand: News on the next Skype script release >Skype 6.0 came out on Wednesday of this week.
