Hello I just tested the app version out with NVDA and it reads like what
JAWS reads, again, the app store version which still works relatively
well with screen readers to an extent still has quirks but still is
manageable whereas the desktop version which we all are used to, stopped
working for me on both laptops I own running Windows 10 latest vuild,
think it is the creator update one. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows
10 when it first came out. I have two HP laptops: the HPG72 and the HP
Probook 6570B models.
It will all take some getting used to that is for sure.
On an unrelated note, can anyone recommend either a foldable or a small
bluetooth keyboard for use with iOS devices running the latest iOS
update? I own an iPod Touch 5th generation and an iPhone 5s.
I'll be looking to either buy a bluetooth keyboard from either Best Buy
or Fry's Electronics or Amazon in the USA. The reason why I'm asking is
that I normally use my braille display but it is our of commission right
now and I need something to help me type fast comfortably. The screen is
my friend up until I start typing. LOL!
Thanks for any recommendations. Even trifoldable keyboards would work
for me as well. One requirement is that I would need keys to be distinct
and I need to feel comfortable typing, I wouldn't want a keyboard that
looks like the T-Mobile Dash, for those who might remember what that
looked and felt like, but to those who don't know, it looked like a mini
calculator and all the buttons were tiny and the spacing was so small.
Again, thanks for any recommendations. I'm looking in the $20 through
$50 range if that helps any.
Thanks much.
Chela

Well, I've been playing around with the app version of the Skype
program and surprisingly it is manageable with JAWS but as with
mainstream programs that are not specifically tailored to screenreader
technology, it does possess quirks and the interface takes some
getting used to and as far as the desktop app goes, on my HPG72
windows waptop that was upgraded to windows 10 once that OS was
released, no longer lets me sign into my account and has not done so
for a year, which is weird because it used to work before I upgraded
to Windows 10, so I uninstalled that, yet I'm able to sign in just
fine using the app version of Skype on this and my HP Pro Book ^570B
windows laptop also was upgraded to windows 10. So, there you have it.
I'm assuming that certain laptop models won't run the desktop version
while the app version will. Just my personal experience with this, if
you would like, I can test NVDA to see how that works with Skype App,
but I can honestly say that desktop version won't work on both
computers anymore with NVDA and JAWS, I'll report back to you how NVDA
does with the app version of Skype if you would like for me to do so.
Just let me know.
Sincerely,
Simpático Trumpeter Chela Robles

Hi,
I think the desktop Version would be available, but with new design.
Microsoft is planning a completely new design of skype. Windows 7 is
still supported and it is use by very much companies, so I don’t
believe that the desktop version wouldn’t available.

Ali
