Hi David.

I assume so, I don't actually use Skype as most of my coms are done using my 
IPhone these days, but since all elements conform to Windows standard controls 
and the like, I cant foresee any accessibility issues what ever.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Thanks, I will take a look at the GW Micro option.  I assume it can be used 
with jaws?

Hi David.

 

If accessibility is your prime focus here, you could do no better than to 
download the GW Skype application from GW Micro, creators of Window-Eyes which 
is a fully accessible interface and alternative to the Skype application 
itself.  You could alternatively download the Skype application from 
www.skype.com and download scripts for JAWS, though I don't have the link for 
those at this time.

 

All the best and good luck, Ibrahim.

Hi all 

 

Could someone please advise me of which version of Skype to use with my Windows 
7 64 bit pc.  Obviously I need a version as accessible with my screen reader, 
Jaws 13, as possible.

 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

David
