Hi! Having downloaded the new Skype add-on for NVDA today, and finding that NVDA+h didn't work as advertised to display instructions for using this add-on, with the necessary keystrokes and so on, I would like to give users of this new add-on a useful tip. This applies to English-speaking Skype users, I'm not sure if it'll work for other languages.
First of all, once you've downloaded and installed the NVDA add-on, you should also download the translation of the instructions: a link was posted to the latter on this list recently, after the announcement of the add-on's release. As the translation of the Read Me is a .rar file, this has to be extracted, using 7zip or a similar program, ideally to the following folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\Skype7\doc Replace the word "username" in this path by your own user name for Windows. You can also extract the Read Me to another folder, as I did, then copy it into the folder whose path I gave you above. I should point out that this path is for Windows 7: I don't remember exactly how such paths worked in XP, as I haven't used it for nearly four years, and I have never use Windows 8 or 8.1 so I don't know what the path would be for those either. However, once the English Read Me folder is extracted to the right location, pressing NVDA+h from within either the main Skype window or any chat window will open the instructions for the add-on. I hope this all makes sense, and is useful for anyone else using the new Skype add-on for NVDA. Bye for now, and happy skyping! >From Clare
