[nfbcs] JFW and Windows Live Messenger

[Humberto Avila]

OK. So yes--this is an issue. I've seen this before, on my computer, running
JAWS 12 and 13. Both versions do the same under this new, latest version of
Windows Live Messenger. Wonder if Microsoft dropped accessibility on windows
Live Messenger? 

Or maybe, I have a better idea. Can you use the new convenient OCR engine
built into JAWS 13 to read the conversations? You get through it by pressing
the Insert+spacebar keystroke and then pressing O quickly. You will hear,
OCR. Press the letter W, to get a recognition of the whole window. Let us
know if this works for you.

I'm trying to go back through the conversation.  It's reading the messages
as they come but for some reason, I'm not able to read through the
conversation if I missed something.

I think JAWS should be able to read you the messages automatically as they
come up. Freedom Scientific did put in scripts for Windows Live Messenger to
be able to do that. They should appear in tooltips, which JAWS can read
while you are out of the Windows Live messenger window, and they should talk
well when you are in also. So I'm not sure what your problem is.

I'm trying to use it with someone else in a chatting situation.  I can type
in what I want, but reading what they're writing me back or going over it
isn't working so well as what it used to.

Before, I used to route my jaws to PC and reread their messages and our
conversation in general.  So far, it's not happening.
