Re: Questions About Skype

2013-07-23 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Yes, the app is accessible with VoiceOver. This explains why it's 
discussed so much on this list! :-)


If you just want to set up calls, video and chats between other Skype 
users, you don't need a paid plan. If you want a number associated with 
it, and you want to call and receive calls from others outside of Skype 
then you'll need a paid plan.

How accessible is the iPhone Skype app? Does it work well with
VoiceOver? I've already got a free Skype account but before loading the
app on my iPhone 5, I want to make sure it's accessible. Do you need a
paid plan with Skype to really make good use of it? I know this depends
on what the uses are which I assume will be phone calls with and without
video.

Thanks in advance for any help y'all can offer.

Hi Jerry;

Skype certainly is available on IOS.

And, it is completely accessible.

Yes, it is spelled s k y p e, and it is accessible. After typing skype into the 
search field, make sure you press enter on a keyboard, or double-tap the go 
button in the lower right corner of the on-screen keyboard.

Well, S'K'Y'P'E is how I found it and it does work with VO.  Not tested it 
with mBraille yet,  but that is a neat new addition.

Yeah, it's called Skype for iPhone from Skype Communications. I found it 
no problem by searching for Skype. It works fine with VoiceOver. Here's 
what I got when I clicked the share button.
