Interested to read Sugar's and others comments about the capabilities of
windows messenger.  But would also like to add/comment on chat sites in
general with Jaws.

 

I often use Skype but have to use an older version because it won't work
with Jaws.  Even the version I use has its problems.  Jaws does, I think
have serious problems or things that don't make sense to me.  An example of
this is that it does repeat itself and say things twice.

 

Facebook is another example.  You can't do open chat properly.  Ok, it may
be the fault of the website, but are there any chat facilities that we don't
have to spend hours tweeking them?

 

Interested to see what you think.

 

Ron

Howdy,

 

I just installed Windows Live yesterday, so I'm running that particular
version.

 

I'm also running JFW 10.0.1139.

 

What has now been happening is that my friend types something in, and JAWS
will read it the first time but when I try to use my jaws cursor or other
commands, I can't get it to read anything but graphics and the menu bar.

It's annoying.

hello there;

 

well, if your using windows live 2011,

you need to,

 

1, open messenger,

 

2, shift+tab until you hear;

toggle layout button, and press enter.

 

now, you should be able to see your contact list, online/offline,

and you should be able to read the messages.

Howdy,

 

I am needing to use Windows Live Messenger very soon.  I've loaded it on to
my Vista machine with JAWS 10.  I know.I know, I need to upgrade, and will
do that in a while.

Anyway, when trying to use it with someone, I couldn't get JAWS to read the
messages that I was typing or the messages that my friend was typing to me.

 

I used to use it on a Netbook computer with Windows XP and JAWS 10, but
something's different here.

 

Do I need specific scripts or certain commands to use it?  It's kind of
necessary.

Thanks.

Jim
