Wow, I hope Skype for desktop won't die. :)

Yikes that is way out of my budget! Maybe I'll just go with th Logitech 
Keys-To-Go if it is still being made, the trick is knowing which model to get 
of that keyboard because last I heard there are two models, one for windows and 
Android and another for iOS.

I believe this relates to skype in that I would have to type messages into the 
skype chat window of conversations easily with a keyboard than the way I'm 
currently doing it right now without my preferred way of typing, that being my 
beloved braille display.

Thanks Doc but that one is too pricy on Amazon and Fry's electronics and Best 
Buy. Shrug!

Keep in touch,

Chela

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.
Regards
Ali
