I do not have plans to enhance the NVDA add-on for Skype, or do much with add-ons at this time in general. I like NVDA, but the time required for me to maintain NVDA add-ons, compared to the time requ

For anyone else curious, my reasons for the big change in chat message date handling, in no particular order: Ease of finding out the date of a message if many occurred on the same date (the [ D seque

I have released revision 226 of the JAWS Skype scripts. Release notes at https://www.dlee.org/skype/#hist and download link available in that document as usual. Besides making date announcement work i

My Left and Right arrows work in Skype 8.8.0 and previous versions, and in script revision 224 and previous revisions. I also use JAWS 2022 but Windows 10; I do not have a Windows 11 environment set u

There is now a fix at https://www.dlee.org/updates/jfw_skype.exe that I have not yet formally released.

I noticed it yesterday and wrote it down for addressing. Thanks for confirming when it started. :)

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
