Hi Sarah, The languages of Windows, JAWS and Skype are all English, so this should not be a problem. As Doug said, probably Windows 11 is the cause.

Hello, I just update to this last version of the scripts but I still have the same issue with it, as before. I've seen that after typing a message in Skype's chat, that text can't be read using left/r

I also found useful to press Alt key to open the menu, then immediately press Alt key again to close it. The window is accessible again after that, and I can press Insert+Control+E to move the focus t

Hi Doug, Is the upgrade necessary for Skype under Windows 7? Or, does it work under Windows 7? --Octavian

Hi Sarah, Here are 4 suggestions I found in the mailing list archive (that were made when somebody else had problems with Skype 8:) From: Sarah k Alawami The point is, that we are seeing way too much

Hi Sarah, When other people complaint that they had a problem with Skype 8, you didn't care and didn't like their messages, just because that time Skype 8 was good enough for you, even if most people

It happends for me also, exactly as you described. In order to solve it, to know how much I need to wait until Skype is working again, I use to press Alt+1, then move the focus to other applications a

Hi Sarah, Skype won't go away, but as I said in past, it became less and less accessible for the blind, and this especially under Windows. We can use it, but if it becames too bad and too hard or impo

Thank you. I tried this method but it just makes a short beep and a little longer one without moving the focus to the list of chats. Probably you are using Windows 10. --Octavian

Hi Doug, Thank you for the list of Skype alternatives. I tested some of them, and I will test TeamTalk, TeamSpeak and Zello, because the ones I tried are not at least as good as the old Skype for Desk

Even worse then those things is that the hotkey Control+Insert+Y to move to the list of chat messages is not working anymore, sometimes after opening Skype nothing happends when pressing Shift+Tab or

Sarah, I asked you some time ago, but I haven't got any answer from you. Do you accept only positive remarks about Skype on this list? Do you like only the remarks that are the same as yours? You say

English is not my native language, so probably I wasn't clear enough so you didn't understand too much, but I never said that I know something or that I am the voice of who knows who. I just presented

I don't put too much effort, and I don't consider them negative. I just compared 2 products, one that I like and another one that I don't like. That's all. It wouldn't be helpful at all to contact the

I'm also tired to explain you that not all the people have the same needs from the same applications, because it seems that it is hard for you to understand. Pressing 2 keys instead of one takes 100%

Of course. But if we can't stop it it doesn't mean that we should pretend that it is better for us even if it is not. The web interface is better for the sighted because is more flexible. The web inte

Yes you are right. We are a minority and we will always be disadvantaged because of this. This is what I am saying. But this doesn't mean that we shouldn't say this just because we can't change it. No
