Re: Cortana
Mike DeZinno
Good evening all,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I moved into Windows 10 about 6 months ago and that's when I first experienced Cortana. I found it to be extremely annoying the way it kept popping up during everything I tried to do, and how it kept pulling Jaws focus away from what I was working on. The reason I mention this is because if it's now going to become a component of Skype I don't see this as good news. It's very pernicious as it seems to go into and take over all functions of Windows 10 almost like it was a virus. If more people in this community find that it's going to be a problem with us using Skype maybe we can open a discussion on how to disable it. On the other hand if we find in time that it helps us use Skype better then that information would also be of value to share. Thanks to all of you who work so hard to figure out these kind of issues. Mike from SC

Hello Jerry,
I'm thinkin it's similar to Alexa.Well, sort of. It's a voice assistant from Microsoft, but unfortunately far not so good as Google's or Amazon's assistants. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: menelion_elensule Twitter (English only): @AndrePolykanine ------------ Original message ------------ From: Jerry Pryde <jpryde1@cogeco.ca> To: skypeenglish@groups.io Date created: , 10:13:23 PM Subject: [skypeenglish] Cortana Hi all.

Re: Cortana
Michele Barbi
Hello, actually I did not realize there was this possibility through
Skype, I don't know if it's because I use a wireless headset and my
Windows machine is a desktop one so no built-in mic.
Anyway yes it's a voice assistant like Alexa or Siri by Apple. You can call it also by pressing windows+c. Thinking it good, since it's a Microsoft product and Skype has been bought by MS since some years it's not so strange... Bye! Barbuz

Shortcuts to answer and disconnect cals in skype 8.42 and later
Jacob
Taken from the Whats New in latest JAWS 2019 release:
Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop Application Version 8.42 or Higher In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are only available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in the Skype for Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the Skype for Business app. To answer an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW. To disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN ARROW. To move focus directly into the Skype window, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y followed by S. OZ0TE Jacob

Re: Updating the Command Key

Hi Jacob,
I tried it, but I must be doing something wrong. When I`m in the Skype window and my keyboard is set to Canadian French, I press the command key and then control+c. It doesn`t seem to bring up that box. Am I starting from the wrong place?

Re: Updating the Command Key

Thanks for the help Jacob. :-)
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
For anyone curious, the reason it's no longer in the same place, is that "the same place" isn't the same anymore. :-) The Insert+V, or JAWSKey+V command, used to bring up the JAWS Verbosity dialog, then the JAWS Options tree, and finally now the Quick Settings dialog. I managed to get the code for changing the Command key to work in the first two of those, but Quick Settings is quite different and did not seem friendly to that sort of modification.

Re: Turn off typing sound in skype 8.xx

I'm using the english version of JAWS 18. Don't know if it can berelated to the fact that I'm using danish Windows 10? I both try english and danish in the Skype settings. I remember back in Skype Classic that some parts of the scripts doesn't work if Skype was set to danish. But in this case with Skype 8 it doesn't matter. OK I'll try to edit the file. Thank you.
