Regarding the messages you already got on this: I doubt this is related to any screen reader, scripts/add-ons, or even accessibility. It sounds like more of a Skype technical or permission problem. A

I haven't noticed any coincidence between spelling corrections and dropped characters, but I have occasionally noticed dropped characters and have done my best to reduce the frequency of this issue, m

This question is on topic for this list, I'm sure. I don't have a specific recommendation on how to distribute, and I'm actually not sure what methods are currently being used for non-English translat

Two things I missed in my earlier reply: First, there is another cause of that message: If you type Alt+1 while in a split-view window (a separate chat window) or an active call window, the field real

You will probably need to translate the scConvList constant in the XML file to avoid that message. The command still works because it will simulate the native Alt+1 command when it can't find the fiel

The Windows Defender issue is common because Windows Defender keeps track of which files are known versus unknown, and of course a brand new file will not be known right away. Every time I update scri

As I mentioned in another thread on this list, Skype version 8.82 came out on Friday or so and broke a few things in my scripts. Notable among these was the typing indicator sound, which began playing

This update came out yesterday as far as I can tell. I fixed the Skype typing issue and another issue or two last night but don't have documentation updated yet, and so had not put out a release. For

Very strange. Even if I pull up the context menu on a favorited contact and see "Remove from favorites" as a choice, I still also see "Delete contact." I suggest trying the Microsoft Disability Answer

I've seen that issue, in Skype and other Electron-based apps, for a long time. The JAWS and invisible cursors are not reliable in this environment in my experience. The virtual, PC, and touch cursors

The way I delete a contact, rarely though I do it, is this: 1. Type Alt+2 to bring up the contact list. 2. Find the contact. 3. Press the Menu or Application key to get a context menu for the contact.

Split view makes chat windows appear as separate windows when you use Alt+Tab. It is turned on and off from the menu that appears when you press Space on the "More options" button that you reach with

Ah, Alt+1 from a split-view chat window will not bring you back to the main window. I don't think that ever worked in Skype 8.x. I'm guessing it would be difficult to implement that in an Electron app

My exact version number, where Alt+1 works as expected, is 8.77.00.97. I just retested while making sure I'm using script revision 203. JAWS 2021. No problems. I'll probably get to a test under 2022 t

This is most curious and a bit concerning. I have received one other report of the Alt+1 issue in Skype 8.77; but I recently installed 8.77 myself and I am not able to reproduce that issue. Alt+1 work

For that particular string, Tab to the button that tells you your balance, figure out part of its name that is unique to it that can be used to search for it, and replace "Skype Credit balance is" wit

The balance command requires a new string to be translated; see skype_lang.xml. I'll check the other items when time permits.

Skype for Business, SFB, is being discontinued. The consumer Skype that we're talking about is not, to my knowledge, scheduled for discontinuation at this time; but many people think that Microsoft Te

Ah yes, the Desktop app version is sometimes ahead of the Store version, but the Desktop version broke on my machine a while back and a re-install did not fix it, so I use only the Store app now and s

I still use Skype, so I script for myself and share the results. Also, sometimes I do things based on suggestions from other people who still use it.
