Catherine,
I, like you, am just getting going on this and am using Jaws 7 with Skype
2.0. It does appear to work pretty well though I've still a lot to learn
about Skype to Skype calls - Skype Out calls seem to work well though.
Regarding your query about the contacts dialogue box. I noticed that the
edit field name is not announced. I think that the first edit box is for
entering the Skype name you want to search for. If it doesn't find a
contact first time, it does appear to be worth trying again several times as
I've certainly had it find a contact on the second or third attempt without
changing any of the details before searching again.
One other thing that took me a wee while to suss out is that to hang up,
just press ESCAPE - kind of obvious when you know but it didn't seem obvious
at first.
Hope this helps.
Jamie
