I bypass Skype most times on the computer anyhow and just use its very
accessible interface from the iPad.

Microsoft did away with the old SkypeKit which GWMicro was using to gather the
Skype information for their GWConnect user interface. I have to wonder why
GWMicro didn't just update their user interface to use the new SkypeKit
instead. As far as I'm concerned, Skype has always seemed accessible to me
using NVDA. GWMicro introduced their user interface during Christmas of 2012 as
a gift to all blind people.
Unfortunately they ran their ads every half hour unless you owned WindowEyes
even during a voice conversation. Their user interface was also lacking in
features which Skype offered. They then introduced the choice to pay them money
to stop running their ads... It was a so-called gift if you'll remember. I
asked for a couple of features to be added to it, but just received a pat on
the head type of response with no features being introduced. I couldn't rely
on GWConnect in my business, as I had to do some really kluncky activities just
so I could call someone back if they hadn't left me a voicemail message. So I
never really kept it installed longer than a couple of hours for testing before
going back to Skype. I think they did a disservice to all my friends who had
been using GWConnect because now that they can't use it, they're struggling to
learn to use Skype again whereas I don't believe they would be having such
problems if they had never used GWConnect and just stuck with using Skype.
