Install already. Kno different. Daripada: Kostadin Kolev via Skypeenglish Tarikh: 10 October, 2014 10:01 PM Kepada: screen access software with Skype Subjek: [Skypeenglish] Accessibility in Skype 6.21.85.104
Hello all, These days Skype officially announced a preview (for public testing) version of the desktop Skype client with the new redesigned interface. The announcement can be read here: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/10/09/improved-skype-desktop-clients-for-a-dynamic-new-chat-experience/ All in all, the new interface seams accessible enough. But there are a few issues: 1. Last I've tested it, there wasn't an accessible way to accept a file transfer. The button although visually reachable via the keyboard, seams to be an unknown control and all screen readers tested (NVDA, JAWS and Narrator) stay silent when the focus lands on that button. Not only that, but pressing spacebar on that control does nothing - the file transfer doesn't start. 2. No proper accessibility string for sent/received contacts in a conversation. There seams not to be a proper accessibility string for conversation items related to sending and receiving of contacts. When the system/keyboard focus lands on such an item in a conversation, the screen reader reads the sender's name and the date of the event, but not what is this item for (in this case - for a sent or received contact). Affected screen readers include, but probably are not limited to, the following: NVDA, JAWS, Narrator. There might be other issues as well, but I haven't tested much lately due to other engagements. I've tried to report those bugs via the Skype community forums, but with no success - there isn't any reaction so far. Can anyone report them directly to Skype in their bug tracking system? I can provide full details of the bugs: description, step for reproduction, etc. if needs be. Thanks much in advance! ___ Best wishes, Kostadin Kolev 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://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ thanks and have a wonderful day. _______________________________________________ Skypeenglish mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tffppodcast.com/listinfo.cgi/skypeenglish-tffppodcast.com
