In skype 3.0 and later, until NVDA gets an off-screen model thing I guess ya call it, I found an alternative to change statuses in Skype! in the main skype window, just tab once as you're by default on the contact list, it will say "online, 1 of 4" since you're in the first section, then just press the space bar on the drop down menu, and as you can hear, items are being read! 
Happy skyping!
PS. Hmm. I think its tiem to make a signature for my email.

Have you turned on the accessibility features from under the view menus in skype? Make sure you have both "extended keyboard navigation" as well as "simplified graphics" checked.
This simply will not work in versions of skype earhlier than the latest build of Skype 3.0 as accessibility for the menus in skype was only implemented in skype 3.0.

Hi Guys. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but the menus in Skype simply won't read for me. I rarely have any trouble with other drop-down menus, but only with Skype. I have to pull up Jaws to read me the menus so I can sign-out. Has anyone else had this problem? I know you're suppose to press the accessibility feature, but when the menues don't read which is which that's kind of hard to do. they just say, "drop down minu" or simply "1 of 13, 2 of 13 etc." Any suggestions? I think I'm running the latest 
version of Skype.

Sincerely,



Debra Gardner
p.s. I'm still not seeing my messages on here so I am assuming that someone is at least reading them! (smiling
