hi unless skype have improved things, and i'm not aware, the easiest way to add a contact is:
i'll use the name john smith 1. press window key plus r 2. type skype:johnsmith?add in the edit box and press enter 3. wait for about 5 seconds and and and edit box will open. jaws should say something like; hello john smith. i'd like to add you as a contact. 4. tab once to send. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Scanlon To: screen readers' access to skype and its interface.

Subject: [Skypeenglish] searching for contacts Hi skyp users have enabled the search for contacts but don’t see a search button, jst the clear button andwhen I try enter without hitting a button nothing happens. I’m telling you skype is clunkier and clunkier by the day. we are going to lose what access we have if we aren’t careful. how do you search for contacts by name email or skype name. nothing happens and there is not search button. even when I have enabled that hot key. an idea would some kind of mobile app be more accessible for a blind user the same way the mobile facebook sight is used as an alternative to the standard skype? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. http://bit.ly/64Y48 thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for posting to the skype english list. to contact skype support with any questions regarding your account email [email protected] To access scripts for the latest version of skype go to http://www.dlee.org/skype To contact the list owner send a message to mailto:[email protected] and for a searchable archives page go here. http://bit.ly/64Y48 thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com
