GW Connect was discontinued long ago, it can't even be gotten any longer, why recommend something that doesn't exist or isn't supported and may not even work with the later operating systems?

Scripts make it much easier. Also I know a few people who still use the GW

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.

Hi,
If you're using the scripts you can just press ctrl shift d to enable or 
disable the dialpad.

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.
