new version trouble


Gary Jackson
 

hello all,


Just got a skype update to,  version 8.82.0.404. I've installed the latest scripts from Doug Lee's sight. One thing, typing sound is always there. I've quit and restarted it as well as restarted the computer. also it repeats history just by alt tabbing into a conversation window. Any ideas?

Hi Gary, are you sure this is not 403? I have this version for Windows desktop and I don't see the update. Did you download on the Microsoft store instead?

Also, are you using default view mode without split view?

Bye!

Hi Michelle,


didn't get it from the skype sight. It just automatically installed when skype started.

I'm using nvda, but can you reload the scripts in jaws? I remember you used to be able to do so. If you can, try that in skype for its scripts. I have never had the typer sound continue when I'm not in a chat before.

Would split view cause the type sound to be repeated, if I understand the issue? If not, please correct me.

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 emergency update in
the mean time, people can grab the installer as it evolves from https://www.dlee.org/updates/jfw_skype.exe

Hi guys,

Doug, thanks for that, I downloaded revision 217from the link you gave us. I had once again the issue about Windows Defender smart screen when launching the file, so I needed to press further information link and then Run anyway button.

Sarah, I am actually not sure. I always use split view mode and I had issues also in the past where typing indicators weren't working properly, or should I say weren't working at all, but I don't know if this has to do with the Skype language which is italian or with split view. That is why I asked Gary if he enabled it or not.

Bye!

I've always used split view and never had that problem until now. Did  somebody say there is a revision 217 of Doug's scripts? I'm only getting revision 212.

Hi everyone.

The constant typing thing can be fixed in the verbosity dialog. Insert
plus V, then down to Typing and uncheck the checkbox.

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 scripts, even though
I keep using the same file name, the file is considered "new" by Defender because it is changed.
