Just remember what one person calls accessible may not be so for another. What is or is considered accessible largely depends on what screenreader a person uses, how well they know and can use their screenreader and how badly they want to be able to use an application. *g*
I have used skype for 10 years now and from before the time there were skype scripts. I used skype text messages from before Doug was able to script them by finding and using miranda with the skype plugin . These days on my old hardware and win xp, I mostly use skype 3.8 still and only keep a portable copy of the latest and greatest around in case I ever need it. I have used gw connect also and like it but since I use skype also so that U.S. based friends can call our skype-in number, gw connect with its advertising would drive me bonkers if used full time. *g*

This is just so not true. I am using the latest version of Skype with JAWS with no problems. With Doug Lee's Skype scripts, Skype works just fine with JAWS.Iain Sent from my iPhoneOn 21 Aug 2013, at 21:50, "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:> Hi Jim > > Skype latest version is not accessible with a screen reader, > you are better staying with the previous version, if you > don't have it, let me know.
