A few clarifications: Which Skype version and version number? Skype Desktop and Skype UWP are the versions, and Desktop versions start with 8 whereas UWP versions start with 14. If you're using JAWS,

I think for Chrome you have to hit an Options button to get the Run Anyway option. I do it instinctively by now though, so I don't remember the exact sequence consciously.

I forgot to mention another possible cause: When you first install a set of scripts in recent JAWS versions, you may have to restart JAWS before it will recognize changes to ConfigNames.ini, the file

I have mixed reports on how long it takes for Skype 8, various versions, to switch to a new conversation. The longest I've heard is over 30 seconds, but my experience is more like five now. I mention

It's "not commonly downloaded" yet because until a few minutes ago it didn't exist. :-) The "Windows has protected your PC" message is one I see often when launching installers and programs downloaded

The JAWS script update for Skype 8.55 is released at https://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/ This update makes typing sounds and announcements work in Skype 8.55 as in previous Skype versions. Also, a fe

You are correct; this is a Skype 8.55 change. I was halfway through scripting to account for it when other things happened here and I had to put the project down for a bit. The first message in this t

There is an issue in JAWS that sometimes requires a JAWS restart after a script installation before the scripts will load. I forgot about this when I wrote you earlier. The technical issue is that cha

If Sarah's suggestion doesn't help, type Ctrl+JAWSKey+v in the Skype window and tell me what app name and version number come back.

That makes sense; in split view, these announcements, even the right ones, are not likely to happen as Skype is currently written.

The "File sent" issue has been reported to Microsoft, by me and surely several others. It is a bug in Skype itself and occurs with or without scripts, and probably also in NVDA though I did not verify

When I launched Skype 8.51.0.92 this morning, I heard that I had one notification. I dutifully wandered off to the Notifications tab and found a notification that said "Introducing Split View Mode," o

Answering a couple questions asked in various places: If you find an slman.jcf file in your JAWS user folder, it is safe and perhaps wise to delete it. The revision 129 shown in the installer and by I

Yes; browser download cache perhaps.

I don't know why you would get vevision 121; the file posted on my site is updated. However, due to my haste at releasing, the recorded revision number in the installer and for Insert+Q for this revis

In the Q&A message I posted earlier today, also quoted below, I mentioned that I needed to address the problem of user changes to the Command key landing in the wrong file. I have now done this, and p

This is my attempt to address several questions and concerns expressed both on and off this list regarding Skype 8.51 and/or my scripts for it. This message covers Skype 8.51, the JAWS scripts for Sky

The "message sent" notification is sent to a list control in the main Skype window. In normal view, that is in focus; so JAWS speaks it. I'm betting that JAWS ignores it in split view because it is us

I have released an update to the Skype 8 scripts to make JAWS name the split-view chat windows including online status and/or mood text, as is already done for conversations displayed inside the main

In the line Index=skypeelectron, there needs to be no spaces. "skypeelectron" is written as one word. That will probably make things work as intended.
