Hello Ahmid, effectively I went to the Skype UWP scripts page and figured out that the latest update has been released in 2017, so chances are they're not compatible with JAWS 2019. But, if you're using Skype 8 electron instead, use the scripts for said version which are more updated and work ok with JAWS 2019. Here it's the direct download link: http://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/jfw_skypeelectron.exe Bye! Barbuz

First, yes the scripts are old and no longer equipped to work with the current version of Skype UWP. I recently looked into updating them but determined that this would be a significant job, because the interface appears to

have been basically replaced since I scripted UWP. That said though, your compile error is not caused by the scripts being old. I'm betting you have a file called uia.jsh in your JAWS user folder. Removing that file is likely to let you install the scripts, and is a good idea anyway because that file, which is an outdated copy of a file that comes with JAWS, can cause compilation problems for other scripts as well.

Michelle. Thank you. I have noticed that the scripts haven't been updated in a long time, but since I have not noticed any one mentioning it here in the list, I thought they still work.

Thank you very much Michelle. Now it's all set. this one is
better in terms of the accessibility. Thank you Doug for the Scripts. Your work is much appreciated. One other thing; in both Skypes I still didn't manage to make the
ariving messages play a sound even though I turned all the
notifications on in the settings window. What am I missing here?
