Hi Marie,
Chat, in Skype, is a means of messaging using text while call is
communication using sound i.e. speech.
Once you select a contact from the list, pressing the applications key will
give you a context menu with other options including the ability to send a
file to the contact, viewing the contact's profile and blocking the contact.
There are other options which require that you have other Skype services
active, but most of these you need Skype credit to use. Skype credit works
a bit like pay-as-you-go mobile phones in that you place credit with Skype
then use it up.
Examples of these services are making calls to landline phones or mobile
phones, sending text messages to mobile phones etc.
Skype is presented as a set of tabs which you can navigate using keystrokes
provided by the Jaws scripts.
You can find an overview of the keystrokes by pressing JawsKey+h.
HTH,
Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] More questions on skype
I've downloaded the executable file as advised and installed it making sure
all the scripts were compiled as recommended before pressing the finish
button.
However, the problems I encountered trying to add contacts are still there.
I type the email address of a friend and press the find button, sometimes
the search is started but not always and I don't get any result.
More puzzling now... I've run the test call many times, I get the service
ok, but I do not hear my message played back to me as I should.
I know my mike works because I can hear my breath in my headphones as I
type. The problem must lie in the playback volume but I don't know where to
find this to alter its settings.
I use an audigy 2 soundcard, what should I look for and where? navigating in
the creative submenus is a nightmare but if pointed to the right direction,
I might be able to crack that one.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Marie
P.S. What's the difference between chat and call? probably quite obvious to
you all but I'll like it clarified for a skype user. Thanks.
