Hi, I am doing everything that you can do with Skype and JAWS by using the Skype Win10 app. You can tab to the dial pad, press enter, and type in the number, for example. I am making a lot of skype calls, and answering them. JAWS is a little sluggish in the Skype app, but I use it. You just have to be a little patient, and tab more than in a traditional desktop program. There are key commands for skype app as well. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I know the Skype topic has come up recently in the past and how there are some accessibility challenges with it. But it looks like theres a nasty Skype for desktop exploit out there and since I dont use the chat features, but rather just the phone aspect, thus my inquiry. I saw that Brian Hartgen commented on Twitter that hes been using the Windows 10 app and is pleased with it. I know Brians probably considered an advanced power user, so maybe he knows how to work around stuff maybe more than the average computer user. Microsoft accessibility has acknowledged the accessibility difficulties with the latest Skype updates, but as of yet, nothings been done about it. IN any event, Im still on Skype for desktop 7.4 and using the latest Jaws 2018. Again, Im mainly interested in the telephone aspect of the program and if its still workable with Jaws. Be it the dedicated desktop app or the universal Windows 10 app. Thanks, Cristobal For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
