A feature called Skype Watch has been added which will speak the names of contacts as they change status regardless of what program you are in. After activating this feature, an option will appear in Skype's verbosity settings which can be used to activate or deactivate the announcement of status changes. Activating this feature requires familiarity with JAWS and is somewhat advanced. We can not accept responsibility for anything resulting from your attempting this procedure. Follow these instructions to activate Skype Watch. List of 6 items 1. While in Skype, type insert+0, or type insert+f2, then s, then Enter, either of which will open the JAWS Script Manager with skype.jss loaded. We don't need to do anything to skype.jss, but this is the easiest way to get it open. 2. Type ctrl+o, then in the edit box, type SkypeWatch and press Enter. This will open the SkypeWatch scripts. Type ctrl+s to recompile them. 3. If you are running JAWS 4.x or 5.x or have ever messed with default.jss in JAWS 6.x, type ctrl+shift+d to open default.jss now. If you are running JAWS 6.x but have never messed with default.jss, use the File menu and find the "Open Shared File" option and press Enter, then type "default.jss" and hit Enter again. 4. Type the following line exactly as it appears, with quote marks and all, right at the top of the file: Block quote start use "SkypeWatch.jsb" Block quote end This is not the normal place for such a line, but it will work for our purposes. 5. If you are running JAWS 4.x or 5.x or you are using JAWS 6.x but have modified default.jss before now, type ctrl+s to save and compile the revised script file. If you are using JAWS 6.x but have not, until now, modified default.jss, use the File menu and the "Save Shared File" option instead. This will recompile default.jss and will, at that instant, enable the SkypeWatch system. 6. Type alt+f4 to close the JAWS Script Manager. list end ----- Original Message ----- From: Ramkumar To: Jaws mailing list Jaws mailing list Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 2:26 AM Subject: skype watch hello listers, can any one tell me what is skype watch and what it is used for ....is there any scripts for it if so can any one send me the link .... thanks in advance
