Hello Doug, the profile doesn't provide an indication whether or not an individual is on Facebook or Skype or whatever. The context menu can be used to make this determination. However, because the options for Facebook contact are not as numerous as those for a Skype contact of course to check this you need to go through the entire menu and this creates more keystrokes than the workaround I already suggested it would be better if we could somehow get this information via lets say the invisible cursor and then reporting the lying if it says Facebook when you up and down arrow through the contact list. This of course would require you to do more scripting or if you do not wish to perhaps I could tackle the project.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] skype 6.7.102 problem I just check the profile via "View Profile" in the contact's Context menu, but I'm not on Facebook or Messenger, so I don't know if that helps you there.

Skype no longer reports the id of the user in the contact list. This is not a problem with jaws or any other screen reader. Skype is not sending this information to msaa. This information is very useful when you're trying to attempt to figure out if the user is on Facebook Skype or messenger. Fortunately Skype reports whether or not it is a messenger contact. However, it does not report whether or not it is a Facebook contact the workaround for now is simply this highlight the contact with the up or down arrow keys while in the contact list. to find out if the user is on Facebook or Skype route your jaws cursor to your PC cursor and then press the down arrow key to move down one line. if it is a Facebook contact you will hear Facebook if you heare anything else then it is not a face book contact. we can get the information from the invizable cursur and report if the line has this content. I don't see why not. What you think doug. Maybe you have a better work around or idea on how to provide this information. This is a major problem for me do to the fact I have a number of contacts that use the same name on skype and facebook. The work around I described above works but it is time consuming to say the least.
