You have not managed to add me I don't think.
There are skype scripts for JAWS that you can just install.
It would be useful to know which version of skype you have so that the
correct version of the scripts can be installed. In Skype go to the help
menu with alt h and arrow up to About. In some versions of skype this box
can be hard to read. The other alternative is to download the latest
version of Skype from www.skype .com
Install the jaws scripts that Peter also suggested in his Email.

Aaaaaagh; :o) I'm growling now...
I can get to a page which says add contact, press spacebar to activate.
When I do that, though, I'm landed on a silent page, where JAWS says
nothing. I have your skype name on my clipboard, and have prob' added you
about 4 times now; don't know though.
Will check the extended keyboard navigation again.
Thanks, both.
Much appreciated.

Yes try that and I will leave skype connected so I will hear your incoming
call.
The most likely reason for your skype looking different is that you have a
different skype version.

HI Graham
Thank you; that was helpful, although my system seems to be showing it
differently. I'm now signed in, with an account created. My tools menu
doesn't have options, other than Connection Options, but it does have
Accessability, so I chose that and found only two options, of which one is
Screen Reader mode, which was checked already. So, now I'm in, and it made
a funny noise to prove it, but I don't know what to do next. Maybe I'll add
your name and see if that results in us being able to speak to each other?
I'm having trouble navigating, so far; it seems less than eager to speak the
page fluenly for me. I'm finding it v hard to figure out what I'm actually
looking at... Aaaagh; beyond frustrating, but so nearly there.Thanks as
always for your very fast and kind help. U R A *!!!

OK Amie.
First you need to sign up for skype. Have you got that far? If not it's
free. Go to www.skype.com and do it. You can also download skype from the
same website.
Next, skype is quite cluttered. I think, hot keys are disabled by default.
When enabled, This should allow you to press alt page up when a call comes
in to answer it and alt page down to hang up.
The hot keys can be reached through the menus.
Press alt t to get to the tools menu and arrow up once to get to options.
Once here you will be in a tree of options. You need to arrow down until
you get to an option called hot keys. On my system I had to arrow down
about 19 times.
When you reach this press tab. You will hear an option called enable
keyboard shortcuts. This needs to be checked so press space bar to check it
if necessary.
Then shift tab to go backwards through the hot key options past cancel until
you get to save and press enter.
My skype contact is at the bottom of this email. Free free to add me if you
need further help.
To add a contact press alt c to get to the contacts menu
The first option is add contact so press enter at that point. Fill in all
the information you know about the contact and a list should appear of
matching contacts.
I hope this is of help.
Regards
Graham

HI list
Someone I'm working for has just told me they want me to do an interview via
skype, today or tomorrow. I've never used it; am looking up the 'getting
started' info now, but can anyone tell me anything about it, with reference
to JAWS 10, please? I've been putting it off for ages and ages, but now
suddenly need to get it sorted within the next hour, if possible.
TIA all.
Amie
