A perhaps ironic thing to say, but, a new way to find me...
For a long time, this has been the best place to find me for Skype script and even NVDA add-on support for Skype products, which include Skype for Windows Desktop, Skype UWP for Windows 10 though I ha
For a long time, this has been the best place to find me for Skype script and even NVDA add-on support for Skype products, which include Skype for Windows Desktop, Skype UWP for Windows 10 though I haven't kept up so well with that one, and Skype For Business (SFB), formerly known as Microsoft Lync. This is still true, but the alternatives to this list are changing; and I thought I should announce this here in case it still affects anyone. For years, I have maintained a Twitter project announcement and support account, @dlee_code. That account remains but is no longer preferred as a means of contacting me. And now to the reason I said this message could be considered ironic: My new preferred point of text-based contact for project support is Telegram. That would be a Skype competitor lol. Here's how it works: If you don't have Telegram and don't want it, you can view my project update announcements, for all my public projects including Skype-related ones, at https://t.me/s/dlee_code The slightly shorter URL https://t.me/dlee_code will let you join my Telegram channel for project updates. That's still a view-only channel (well ok, that's what "channel" means on Telegram), but there's a link on that screen (in Telegram) or page (in your browser) for a discussion group. If you join that group, you can talk back to me about projects I'm working on. Please keep any messages there related to projects of mine. The direct link for joining that group is a bit messier: https://t.me/joinchat/OUU9GRieXgkcDYYdSXeGGQ As for accessible Telegrams: * The native iOS Telegram app works well enough with VoiceOver for sending and receiving messages, in my experience. * The Unigram Windows Store app works well enough on Windows, and I have JAWS scripts for that one at https://www.dlee.org/unigram/ * I'm told that Telegram is decent on Android, but I don't have more specifics on that except that I also hear the explore-by-touch is often necessary to use it. Other useful references: My https://www.dlee.org/contact/ page is the official guide on how to contact me for various things. My main website at https://www.dlee.org is the best place to find a current list of my public projects, of which there are currently about 40. And finally, no, I am definitely not leaving Skype or abandoning the scripts for it. :-) Skype just doesn't offer me the sort of configuration I want for project-related communications, and Twitter has raised sufficient concerns in my mind to make me move away from using it for this purpose - though my project update Telegram posts are currently also automatically posting to my @dlee_code Twitter. A page describing my reasons for this move from Twitter to Telegram can be found at https://www.dlee.org/twit2tel.htm Happy Skyping to all. -- Doug Lee dgl@... http://www.dlee.org Level Access doug.lee@... http://www.LevelAccess.com "Maturity is knowing that the world owes you nothing. Freedom is knowing you owe it the same. Character is how you respond to the knowing." --Jack Kincaid

Hello to all. We now have a new sub group. I'll be making this post sticky on the forum page so that all new members can see it. I've also make it where members can dl the archives of the list. the subgroup can be found by going to [groups.io's home page](groups.io) then clicking your groups, then clicking "skype english" then click the at sign, you will need to use your screen reader's find function for this. After this, find the sub group's section and follow the directions for subscribing. I got the idea from another list I'm on. And it's a good one. Just follow the rules in the description and you will be ok. Thanks. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our [website.](http://www.tffppodcast.com) This is also our libsyn page as well.

#modnote: the rules have changed just a bit

Sorry I have to do this to all of you but the rules have changed. This will make for even cleaner archives which can be searched. I will make this sticky so everyone joining and reading the website can make note of the new rules and regulations. You can thank a list mod on a list I'm a part of for the idea. I just added my own twist shall we say. Hello and welcome to the Skype English list. Here our goal is to have fun discussing various things related to skype and the screen readers such as jaws and others. Remember the following: flaming of any kind, virus warnings, spam, or anything off topic will not be tolerated. Posting in HTML is aloud, but no links will work. The message will hopefully be converted to plain text. Let me know if you see any attachments. i doubt you will. Absolutely no attachments are aloud on this list. Security comes first and this will minimize the chance of viruses spreading. Keep all intro threads to at least 3 or 4 messages before the thread is taken off list. That way we don't drift off topic. I know this is going to be hard for most of us including this mod here but if we keep the messages on topic the archives will look a lot cleaner and people will be able to find info on what they need. speaking of clean archives absolutely no discussion of anything other than Skype and its use with screen readers will be tolerated on this list. If the admin notices any other topics such as google talk on this list they will close the thread immediately. I hate to do this but this is to keep the archives easier to find for old members as well as new ones. When you first join this list it's normally customary to send out an intro message. Since this list is growing by leaps and bounds this will cease and desist. The new comer will now if they want to send out a question regarding the scripts, skype, gw connect, anything that this list covers. any "hello" messages and "I'm new. here is my info" messages will no longer be tolerated. We want to keep the searchable archives at the mail archive as clean as possible. Before you post your question(s) to the list, please search the group archives or do a google search. This prevents the cycle of repeated messages. It also teaches you the user to search before asking for help. Oly when you have exhausted yoru resources should you come to this list. We get a lot of messages, so the archives are full of stuff dating back to at least 2005. . Have fun and happy skyping. Failure to abide by any of these rules, especially the last one, will get you 3 strikes then the member is band from said list. Take care all. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website. This is also our libsyn page as well. For stuff we sell, mac training materials and tutorials go here. and for hosting options go here to subscribe to the feed click here Our telegram channel is also a good place for an announce only in regard to podcasts, contests, etc. Finally, to become a patron and help support the podcast go here
