I updated the Skype electron scripts at http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/ to fix this issue.

I have confirmed your issue. This is an unexpected side effect of changes made to support the latest update to JAWS 2018. In fact the entry for your change is being created, but in the wrong file, pro

This is all coming from a tweet. I tweeted back asking for verification as to whether that tweet represents old and outdated info or an actual policy change. I'll report when I know more.

I did try it myself before writing last time. :-) It took me to the site to edit that information, so I said I think that's just what it does. Not sure why you got signed out though. My specific seque

Hidden by default, you say. Does this mean you know a way to make a menubar surface in Skype 8 for Windows Desktop? I only glanced quickly, but I saw no indication in window, MSAA, or UIA structures t

The Alt+F/E/H etc. commands are probably provided for our convenience. To my knowledge, there is actually no menu bar in Skype 8; so the Alt key will not go anywhere by itself. I think you are taken t

Ctrl+Q shuts Skype 8 down. Alt+F opens the File menu where this option can also be found manually.

I suspect you were using the last link on the page, which is an old 6.22a link. You want the 6.22b link.

In a company the size of Microsoft, I'm not surprised to hear a few people missed something that the company as a whole did not. I say the company as a whole did not miss the commotion because the com

The page was loading completely; the material you're used to seeing on that page has been reorganized though, and is still undergoing a bit of reorganization. The Users Guide for the Skype 8 scripts n

My main Skype script page, http://www.dlee.org/skype/, is now a jump-off point for all of my Skype-related projects (scripts and NVDA add-on for Skype 8, scripts for Skype UWP, scripts for Skype 7, an

I honestly don't see, in Octavian's post, anything I could reasonably describe as: - "Disrespect towards a screenreader based on personal preference." The "JAWS, not NVDA" remark read, to me, as simpl

Truth is, when I updated my website to account for Skype 8 now working on Windows 10, I missed the link he found on my main page. This is now fixed. And Skype 8.25 does work on Windows 10. I'm using i

Indeed... but it looks like third-party developers of recording apps may not be using any sort of API at all. I'm still trying to get a direct answer from Microsoft on whether there *is* an API for th

Ok this one is a wake-up call to me! I see verification of your assertion, but until now I had assumed without question that MP3 Skype Recorder and all other API-dependent programs would not work at a

Skype 8.25 should work with JAWS 17, 18, and 2018 with my scripts. Skype UWP should work with JAWS 18 and 2018 and my scripts, but not with JAWS 17.

This has slowly become easier, but I still make navigation mistakes when doing it; so I tend to try to stay in each screen reader for a fairly large block of time. As it happens, I now have several ac

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 ye

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, s
