Hi,

I've been thinking about trying Skype but have a couple questions. I'm running JAWS 9.0 on my desktop computer and trying NVDA on my netbook for now. I also have a friend who wonders about Skype with WindowEyes but I'm not sure which version she's using. I'd be interested in hearing about anyone's experiences with Skype. If it's more appropriate to discuss this offlist, please feel free to e-mail me as I may have other questions as well.

Thanks,

Diane Hubard

You may want to consider joining and posting to the JAWS users list, and to user lists for NVDA and WindowEyes as well. I remember a while back there was quite a bit of discussion on the JAWS user list regarding Skype.

There are scripts for JAWS and scripts for Window-eyes. Of course, the Window-eyes scripts only work for 7.0 and above. There are no NVDA scripts or settings.
