Thanks Sarah. I had tried all of that except for rebooting. It looks like Doug's updated scripts solve the problems I was having though.

Have you tried restartingjaws, restarting skype, and restarting the computer, in that order? I have the update, used it yesterday and it works well with nvda.

Take care

Doug,

Don't want to raise alarm un-necessarily, but I think the update to
Skype 8.38 today may have broken the scripts. I can no longer get my
custom modifier key to work to take me to the message history, and
it's intermitant for getting to the edit field too.

I fixed this last week and recently put out on Twitter a reqest for testing help for this and another issue related to JAWS 18 and 17. I have not posted a proper release yet though because I got zero responses to that testing
request lol.
The test scripts remain for now at https://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/tst1.exe

I wonder when Microsoft will disable  that version. Just learn 8. It is easy to use.

Hi guys,

For those of us who are just itching to revert back to a version of skype that we can use in a mannor that we’re used to, here’s a link to skype_7.36.0.101:

https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AMkAH7XCF9lXEIE&cid=97BE058011017508&id=97BE058011017508%2133665&parId=97BE058011017508%2111937&action=locate

All you have to do is press enter on the above link, then navigate down the page till you see a link that says: “skype_7.36.0.101.exe  ‎Jan‎ ‎16” Press enter and you should get a window that asks you if you’d like to either run or save the file. 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? If so, check out my show every Wednesday night from 7 to 9 pm Eastern on ACB Radio Interactive at

Hi there Oh there is no skype 7.4 working anymore, well I don’t know how to use this skype 8.3 because I get confuse with it so I removed skype 8.3

I do not think skype 7.4 will run any more.

Hello All I do not like skype 8.3 at all, I want to get skype 7.4 version. Does anyone know where I can download and installed skype 7.4? I have desktop and laptop computer with window 10 and have jaws 2018

Addison

Ok, thanks for the advice. I think for now I'll post on Facebook page of Skype, I don't have contacts with Apple, other than the accessibility email address, but it's not really an accessibility problem...
Bye!
