Sure. Just unload JAWS and run NVDA and visy versy as Tigger once said. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Q: Is it easy to alternate between NVDA and JAWS?

I don't consider myself ready to prepare add-ons for that page in most cases, for both time and know-how reasons. I am not opposed to getting them there at some point, but I have no timeline for it

Hi Sugar. If you can’t afford updating JAWS I highly recommend NVDA. www.nvaccess.org/ As Doug already stated there is an NVDA add-on that works with Skype 8.25. Speaking of that add-on, Doug you

have you thought of System Access to go for Skype 8.25 It works very well with System Access to go

Hi Sugar and all. I recently checked the system requirements for Skype UWP, and figured out that yeah they require JAWS 18. Since you're using 17, if you are not able to upgrade, better for you to use

Greetings I hope this message goes through. Smile I use jaws 17, windows 10 and office 2016. I think the uwp will not work on my version of jaws since I don’t have18. I think I was told that 8.5

I've looked all through Skype settings and can't find this one. It used to be under the Advanced audio settings, but I'm having trouble finding that one in either Skype UWP or Desktop 8.25. Any kicks

Seem like that one is totally useless with a screenreader no matter what mode I use--standard Windows nav, object nav, etc. If I want the application to stop running when I close the window, I set it

Hi there. I get a sound when I've got a message coming through, but I'm not sure how to retrieve it. I'm on the skype 8.25 desktop version and am using windows 7. Also It's hard to tell if skype has

Ah-ha.  Well understood. Fog  = gone.

Why would one need one version over the other? Actually, why did Microsoft have two version of Skype? This confuses people. Wouldn't Skype 8 be good enough? No, because it wouldn't support

Glad things are clearing up and starting to work for you. :-) The rest of this message is meant to clear a few remaining cobwebs out of the equation in case this is useful: Microsoft owns Skype now,

I think the fog has finally cleared. It took me all this time to understand there are two versions of the same application from two suppliers, their look and feel seems quite similar to me, and

You are correct that Skype 8 is from the website and Skype UWP is from the Store. But there are scripts for both, and you have to load the scripts for the Skype version you are using. For Skype 8

OK, the fog is burning off (LOL). On one computer, I have Skype for Desktop version 8.25. On another I have that one, plus the one from the Microsoft Store. I have figured out how to start the

Skype 8 is not from the Store. Skype 8 is from skype.com. Skype UWP is from the Store. You can have both on your computer at once, but I'm saying it sounds like the one you are actually running is

The fog thickens, I'm sorry to say. Yes, 8.25 UWP to be exact. So you have two choices: Get the Skype 8 JAWS and/or NVDA support as described and But ... but ... I hate to sound so stupid, but

Microsoft recently started officially supporting Skype 8 on Windows 10, and it sounds from your messages like you are actually running Skype 8. So you have two choices: Get the Skype 8 JAWS and/or

Doug:  Electron and NVDA add-on are the wrong choices because I'm not using a version of Windows less than 10. Scripts for Windows 10 insist Chrome is running. What  can I do to fix this? Thanks
