[Trainer-talk] Window-eyes and Skype

[Nusbaum, Christopher]

David and All,

I for one am disappointed by the loss of GW Connect, even as a JAWS user. I have used both the JAWS scripts and GW Connect and have found GW Connect a much more stable, easy-to-use software which did not so dramatically change with each Skype upgrade. The lack of notice Microsoft gave us about this abrupt end to support for SkypeKit was disconcerting at best. But it has already happened, so we may as well not dwell on the problem. In that case, then, are Doug's Skype scripts still being updated and still work? Any other solutions for JAWS users?
