There seems to be some confusion about the API, SkypeTalking, SkypeWatch, and the Options checkboxes that enable announcements of notifications like who comes online in Skype. Here I will try to clear this up. I hope this is helpful to all. :-)
1. The checkboxes in Skype's Options/Notifications page affect what SkypeWatch says, but do not affect what SkypeTalking says. 2. The Skype Desktop API's ability to function affects SkypeTalking but not SkypeWatch. In other words, SkypeWatch works with the checkboxes exclusively, and SkypeTalking works with the API exclusively. 3. Skype's Desktop API is indeed beginning to act more strangely than it has in a while, though it is not entirely dead. I do not personally know whether SkypeTalking works well with Skype 6.22, but see the next item. 4. Anyone who wants to test SkypeTalking should make sure to avoid running my Skype scripts. If you are running JAWS 15 or 16, the built-in JAWS scripts may also announce notifications. I therefore suggest that testers of SkypeTalking run JAWS 14 or older without my scripts for an absolutely rock-solid result. 5. If anyone wants to test SkypeTalking against JAWS 15 or 16, disable every checkbox you can find in Options/Notifications while testing, so you won't get announcements from JAWS scripts at the same time. -- Doug Lee [email protected] http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group [email protected] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com What is most worth paying for, you buy with the life you live.
