Okay.ï¿½ Another dumb question possibly.ï¿½ Is Skype accessible withoutï¿½ scripts or do I need them.ï¿½ Also, I'm using Win 7 64-bit and Jaws 2018.ï¿½ Any accessibility issues I should know about? Thanks

What concerns me, is the interface. Particularly the contacts list. People I know who are screen reader users, have complained that in Skype 8, they have no way to know when someone is either online, offline, away, Etc. Then of course, there's the confrence call thing, sending ims and command structure as a whole and so forth. I've heard reviews from both the sighted and the blind, and unfortunately, none of them have been good. Basically, many people are saying, "what the heck did microsoft do to this program?" That's not actually the way I wanted to put it, but I didn't want to come out and curse on the list. But trust me when I say, people are hating this new version.  Just in case, I'm also looking into another voip program.

I think there is an option, but you need to be in the chat. I was able to do it a few days ago. Actually now I just send audio clips from my phone to my contacts. Those actually sound better than the voicemail thing in my humble opinion.

Go to skype.com and find the download page. Then find the 8 preview link. This is the one you want to get, I think?

You might be helped by my JAWS scripts for Skype 8 at http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/ or by my NVDA add-on for Skype 8 at http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/skype.nvda-addon

These of course work with Skype 8 but not Skype 7.

You might be helped by my JAWS scripts for Skype 8 at http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/ or by my NVDA add-on for Skype 8 at http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/skype.nvda-addon

These of course work with Skype 8 but not Skype 7.

What concerns me, is the interface. Particularly the contacts list. People I know who are screen reader users, have complained that in Skype 8, they have no way to know when someone is either online, offline, away, Etc. Then of course, there's the confrence call thing, sending ims and command structure as a whole and so forth. I've heard reviews from both the sighted and the blind, and unfortunately, none of them have been good. Basically, many people are saying, "what the heck did microsoft do to this program?" That's not actually the way I wanted to put it, but I didn't want to come out and curse on the list. But trust me when I say, people are hating this new version.  Just in case, I'm also looking into another voip program.

Dan,
Do you know if this new version will work with the Iphone? I have friends who for one reason or another are currently restricted to using their Iphones when using skype.
