skype 8.55

Stephen Troy
 

morning doug and all

I've installed the latest script update and, sadly, not much in skype
seems to be working.

alt 1 doesn't take me anywhere.
when I press alt and any numeric jaws just announces the keys i'm
pressing and nothing happens.
i'm unable to come out of an open chat without closing skype completely.
jaws stops speaking after about two tabs.

I've tried screen refresh and quitting and reopening jaws but no change.

i'm running 8.55, script version 137, jaws 2020 and the latest win10 build.

regards

steve

will see an option to install anyway.

This update makes typing sounds and announcements work in Skype 8.55 as in
previous Skype versions.

Also, a few extra things will speak as you navigate through a chat message
list, such as the duration of a finished call and the amount so far played
in a paused or playing voicemail. See the release notes at the above URL
for
details.

Do I just keep trying until it works?

The "Windows has protected your PC" message is one I see often when launching installers and programs downloaded from the Internet. If you are unsure whether the file is safe, you should of course not run it. Windows is trying
to help avoid virus and malware attacks by warning users when they are about to run something that came from the Internet. However, the message is not itself an indication that the installer is infected or malicious.

Doug:

I just tried to download the scripts.  It says the installer could harm the computer as it's not commonly downloaded, and won't uninstall or install the new version.

Expect a script release soon, for this and a few other things.

At least, when I'm in a chat, it says Typing when someone's typing.

I don't really need it to tell me who's typing when I'm in a chat window.  That's just my opinion.

Hi, Michele.


It says the typing sounder's checked, so I assume it's enabled.On 2019-12-16 4:39 p.m., Michele Barbi wrote:

Hi Jerry and all,

I also updated to Skype 8.55, but I figured out some other bugs, for example the split view auto-disaples after a system restart. I did not have chance todeepli test the chat feature, but I need to figure out if there's a bug in typing sounder as well. In the meantime, try pressing insert+v from within Skype, and make sure that the typing sounder option is enabled.

Bye!

I've got the new scripts downloaded, and they work perfectly.

I'm using the latest Skype version, 8.55.0.141.

In a chat, the typing sound's gone.

Anyone no how to restore it?

Thanks billions as always.


Jerry.

Hello Georgie and List,

Only Skype to Skype calls are free. If you venture into other Skype services, you need to pay for them. Take a look here:

How odd, I don't have that issue. You should just be able to set up a microsoft account, or log on with yours.

Take care
