To be perfectly honest, I’ve not tried Skype For Windows using Text chats yet but the point still remains, I assume that - when you talk of Scripts - you’re assuming that everyone is using JAWS? That just ain’t the case.
I use JAWS here and I like it a lot but for those who don’t use JAWS then they don’t have JAWS scripts to work with thus those people have two distinct options, use Skype and learn about what accessibility is built-in or not use Skype at all - or spend a whole heap of extra money just to get JAWS to run Skype scripts - <smile>. > On 17 Sep 2015, at 4:48 am, brianolesen <br...@blindkom.dk> wrote: > > Hi, > Hmm well not really. > For example you can not get automatic speech in a chat session if you're > downloading a file without the scripts. > > > Brian > Brian > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Dane > Trethowan > Sendt: 16. september 2015 20:38 > Til: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Emne: Re: Skype For Windows: A Discovery Made > > Interesting, I thought we’d gone beyond using scripts for Skype now, it seems > to me at any rate that the latest version of Skype for Windows is very > accessible indeed, has been like that for quite some time and full credit to > Microsoft addressing many accessibility issues. > > Its great that people are writing scripts but I don’t like to use them when I > can avoid doing so as they isolate the user from the way the running App > actually works so therefore you’re tied to one system or one Screen Reader > and thus don’t have the knowledge of how functions are used in the App > itself, only my opinion of course. > > >> On 17 Sep 2015, at 4:33 am, brianolesen <br...@blindkom.dk> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> If you're using the scripts you can just press ctrl shift d to enable or >> disable the dialpad. >> >> Brian >> >> -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- >> Fra: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Dane >> Trethowan >> Sendt: 16. september 2015 19:19 >> Til: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> >> Emne: Skype For Windows: A Discovery Made >> >> Hi! >> >> For those who use Skype For Windows, I discovered that the feature to >> generate tones whilst on a call now works, in previous versions of Skype For >> windows getting this feature to work was problematic at best - in most cases >> I couldn’t get the function to work at all -. >> >> Anyway Microsoft have certainly fixed the problem so here’s how to activate >> the function. >> >> Whilst on a call use the tab key to move to the “Dial Pad” button and press >> space, from here you can use the top row of numbers on your keyboard to >> enter responses to automated bank systems or whatever, you can even paste a >> string of numbers into the Edit box which comes up when the “Dial Pad” >> button is pressed and have the appropriate tones entered for you by Skype >> automatically. >> >> >> ********** >> Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the >> halfwits in this world behind. >> >> >> >> >> > > ********** > Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the > halfwits in this world behind. > > > > > ********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
