Re: skype bug
Hello Doug, I'm running a test build of Skype - 8.39.76.181 and the menubar still appears visually if I press ALT. Keyboard commands like Alt+F, Alt+E, Alt+V, etc. still work when Skype is in english.______ На 13.2.2019 г. в 1:47, Doug Lee

Re: Skype 8 JAWS script updates
Hi everyone,
I downloaded what I thought was the new scripts and installed
them and it says Version 86 for me as well. Is there maybe a
direct download link for the newest ones?

The Skype 8 Challenge
Lino Morales <linomorales001@...>
Well I’ve not heard a peep from anybody out here all weekend. My deadline for this challenge has past. So I guess none of you downloaded and installed Skype 8? Did you do it? Were you too chicken? If you did, how did it go?

Re: Scripts translation (unreadble symbols)

I compiled revision 73 in english jaws 18. on the virtual machine.
Launched on the host in Russian jaws 18. Everything worked fine and all characters were readable. Apparently the problem is something else. Sorry for the line in Russian at the end of the previous letter, it was a message from Jaws virtual viewer, I just forgot to delete it.

Re: Scripts translation (unreadble symbols)

Not sure what you're suggesting. JAWS saves the jsb file; I don't have a way to tell JAWS what encoding to use for a jsb file. I took the jsm file directly from Dropbox without any changes, so that file would be in whatever

encoding you used to save it. If I actually have to have a Russian JAWS to build the jsb file, we have a problem lol

Press enter or spacebar on the save button and download it to your computer. Then locate the file and install like normal. Be sure to remove any other versions of skype you have installed prior to doing this. If you can't download the file for some reason, contact me off list and I'll send you a copy of the .exe file. Mike P.S. When you install skype 7.36, you will not be bothered by the "Update Skype Today" message, as it bypasses it automatically. Do you like disco? Do you like to shake your groove with New Wave, 90s Hiphop, Or today's slammin hits?

Won't be long now. I'll be completely upgraded before too long. That's the plan. Going for the whole deal; W10 complete with new version of JAWS. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Re: an atempt to help my fellow skype users
I did it in about 2 minutes and learned the app in about 10 or 20. It is much easier to learn than skype 7, trust me. And I don't really use skype for windows much, but when I do I now love it.

For the rest of you who feel that the old versions are gone, and that we should just put up with overly complicated software, you need to understand that not everyone is a quick study like you are. Learning new things can be difficult for some of us and we can’t all just dive head first into things like the rest of you can. Especially when it comes to software with accessability issues. The scripts are there to help yes, and that’s great, but the scripts can only go so far. It’s not that we don’t want to learn something new, it’s just that there are times when things get really difficult, sometimes there’s nothing else you can do but revert back to a prior version for the sake of accessability. We as blind people aren’t the only ones who were affected negativly by skype 8. Our sighted counterparts have difficulty with it too. Finally, for those who have installed 7.36, once installed, be sure to go into the options menu, and turn off the automatic updates option. If you aren’t familliar with this option, you can get there by doing the following. 1. Log into skype and go to tools menu 2. Select options 3. Arrow down to where it says, “automatic updates” then tab once to get to the button marked turn off automatic updates. Press spacebar on this button to turn it off. 4. Then tab to save and press spacebar and you’ll be all set. I appologize for the long post, but I felt that I had to come forward and speak my peace and to say that I’m glad that Jerry, Mario and others have found my suggestion helpful. Yes, version 7.36 may be old, but it’s a work around for now and I too am glad that it works for us. Have a nice day everyone. Sincerely, Mike

It's a good temporary measure until I can get the upgrades; just enough to keep things going normally until then. That's really all it is for me. I still get the notice that an update is available. For now, I click on the Not Now option. It's just a helpful bridge to the new version, making things almost seamless. On 07/02/2019 7:15 a.m., Oran Morrison via Groups.Io wrote:
