Hello list,

The subject line says it all. I did a google search and tried  a few tricks/solutions that were suggested to no avail. I have all the notifications switched on in the skype settings but still, I can not hear  incoming messages when people message me. I can't hear other sounds either, like the notifications of people coming online, going offline and etc

Any help will be appreciated

If I press jaws key plus t on the most recent active contact in my list, it reads there name and mood meesage if there is one.

 

However, what may be considered a glitch is this. If I open another chat in the list, and that person isn’t currently showing as active, jaws key plus t will read their name but the mood message of the most recent contact.

Re: calling sequence

Stephen Troy
 

Hi steve

 

Useful tips from Mr Lee’s website.

 

A fast way to start a new conversation:

  • Type Ctrl+Shift+s to focus the "Search Skype" box.
  • Type the name or partial name of your intended contact, then Tab several times to reach the search results.
  • Use Up and Down arrows to find your intended contact. If at first you do not find the contact, go through the results again as the list may be updated over time as more matches are found.
  • Press Enter to open a conversation and focus the input edit box. If focus does not land in the input box, use the scripted Command e sequence to move focus there.
  • To call the contact immediately once the conversation is displayed, type Ctrl+Shift+P for a voice call or Ctrl+Shift+K for a video call.

 

In regards question 2. There are several options.

You can locate joe in your contacts and tab to his profile and find his mobile number in there.

Having found joe in your list of chats press the applications key and arrow down to profile.

If you have called his mobile at any time, if you arrow down your list of chats, his number will appear there and you simply follow the above steps for making a video or audio call.

 

Below are two links; the first is  to doug’s  website and the second to Microsoft’s “what are hot keys and how do I use them in skype” page.

Hello,

 

Here are 2 questions relating to the latest version of Skype 8:

 

Question #1:

What are the quickest and specific steps to make a call to “Joe” from your contact list?

 

Question #2:

 

Let’s say you have 2 numbers for Joe in your contact list, home and mobile. You call the home number and find that Joe is not home so you want to call his mobile number. What is the quickest way to call his mobile from this point?

 

Thx

Sorry I have to do this to all of you but the rules have changed. This will make for even cleaner archives which can be searched. I will make this sticky so everyone joining and reading the website can make note of the new rules and regulations. You can thank a list mod on a list I'm a part of for the idea. I just added my own twist shall we say.

Hello and welcome to the Skype English list. Here our goal is to have fun discussing various things related to skype and the screen
readers such as jaws and others. Remember the following:

  1. flaming of any kind, virus warnings, spam, or anything off topic will not be tolerated.

  2. Posting in HTML is aloud, but no links will work. The message will hopefully be converted to plain text. Let me know if you see
    any attachments. i doubt you will.

  3. Absolutely no attachments are aloud on this list. Security comes first and this will minimize the chance of viruses spreading.

  4. Keep all intro threads to at least 3 or 4 messages before the thread is taken off list. That way we don't drift off topic. I
    know this is going to be hard for most of us including this mod here but if we keep the messages on topic the archives will look
    a lot cleaner and people will be able to find info on what they need.

  5. speaking of clean archives absolutely no discussion of anything other than Skype and its use with screen readers will be tolerated on this list. If the admin notices any other topics such as google talk on this list they will close the thread immediately. I hate to do this but this is to keep the archives easier to find for old members as well as new ones.

  6. When you first join this list it's normally customary to send out an intro message. Since this list is growing by leaps and bounds this will cease and desist. The new comer will now if they want to send out a question regarding the scripts, skype, gw connect, anything that this list covers. any "hello" messages and "I'm new. here is my info" messages will no longer be tolerated. We want to keep the searchable archives at the mail archive as clean as possible.

  7. Before you post your question(s) to the list, please search the group archives or do a google search. This prevents the cycle of repeated messages. It also teaches you the user to search before asking for help. Oly when you have exhausted yoru resources should you come to this list. We get a lot of messages, so the archives are full of stuff dating back to at least 2005.

. Have fun and happy skyping.

Failure to abide by any of these rules, especially the last one, will get you 3 strikes then the member is band from said list.
Take care all.

Hello,

 

Here are 2 questions relating to the latest version of Skype 8:

 

Question #1:

What are the quickest and specific steps to make a call to “Joe” from your contact list?

 

Question #2:

 

Let’s say you have 2 numbers for Joe in your contact list, home and mobile. You call the home number and find that Joe is not home so you want to call his mobile number. What is the quickest way to call his mobile from this point?

 

Thx

Steve

Thank you very much Michelle. Now it's all set. this one is  better in terms of the accessibility.

Thank you Doug for the Scripts. Your work is much appreciated.

One other thing; in both Skypes I still didn't manage to make the ariving messages play a sound even though I turned all the notifications on in the settings window. What am I missing here?

Michelle. Thank you. I have noticed   that the scripts haven't been updated in a long time, but since I have not noticed any  one mentioning it  here in the list, I thought they still work.

How can I get Skype electron though?

Doug, thank you very much, you  are right as I failed to install the scripts on jaws eighteen as well.

Thank you very much,

That said though, your compile error is not caused by the scripts being old. I'm betting you have a file called uia.jsh in your JAWS user folder. Removing that file is likely to let you install the scripts, and is a good idea
anyway because that file, which is an outdated copy of a file that comes with JAWS, can cause compilation problems for other scripts as well.

Re: Accepting a contact request

Michele Barbi
 

Ok guys, thanks for your suggestions. I forgot to mention that I also checked on the notifications tab with no luck, so I probably need to ask for her Skype username and add her again.

Jerry, maybe you confused between accepting contact requests and adding new contacts.

Bye!
