[jaws-uk] Re: Skype Chats

Hi Barbara,

Assuming that you are using Doug Lee's scripts revision 653 and Skype 
version 3.8, You should be able to do the following:

Press JawsKey+whatever number on the top row places you in the history tab.

Use your cursor keys to select the chat you wish to review and press enter. 
This will open a new chat window.

Now, you should be able to use alt+number keys on the top row to read the 
chat entries where the most recent entry is alt+1.

Remember to close the chat window and revert to the contacts tab using 
control+1 when you have finished in order to save yourself confusion later.

HTH,

Phil Medway

  Subject: [jaws-uk] Skype Chats


  I am using JAWS 9, the latest release of Skype and the Skype scripts.

  When I am in a Skype chat rather than a voice conversation, I am having 
difficulty in reading the message log and wondered if anyone else was having 
similar problems. When I tab to the message history view, JAWS will announce 
the time and date of the first message and read that message, but that's 
all. If I try to use the cursors to read up and down the window, nothing is 
spoken. To read the messages I have to use the JAWS cursor, but of course 
theis doesn't read everything and often with all the other things it reads 
only a few lines of messages is in view and usually the first few lines.

  Any tips?

  Thanks.

  Barbara
