Hi, the scripts for skype included with jaws 15 suck. Sorry they do. the scripts that doug has created are just so much better. What you will want to do is install the jaws beta. Then run the skype script insaller. they will uninstall the scripts you have and then reinstall them. note mergeing your settings from 14 don't work here for what ever reason. If you merge your settings you will find that the skype scripts that ship with jaws 15 will be used. This is not what you want. You want to use the skype scripts provided buy doug. So as I said run the installer. Note once you do this the jaws space commands that work with skype no longer work. perhaps doug could add those feature in at some point. To the person who said they are not excited about the new version I must respectfully disagree. Running windows 8 apps with this new version is so much more fun. Now if I had a pc or tablit running windows with a touch screen. Question anyone use the windows 8 skype app with jaws 15. If so how well does it work. I guess I will play with it but thought to ask if anyone here has beat me to the punch. Hth
