While in Skype: 1. Insert+Ctrl+s 2. select default. 3. Tab and make sure it says "for skype" or something similar. 4. tab and press Ok. That should set your profile to default whenever you launch Skype.

I primarily use a Braille display but sometimes I do use speech. However, if I go on Skype or a Talking Communities chat room, I lose speech and have to: 1. Press insert J. 2. 2. Press Alt l then arrow up to "profiles" then hit enter. 3. I then must press d for default which is the speech settings I have made. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
