RE: All new Skype update with major changes to the user interface
Hi TRon, Once you started a call the Speakerphone button is there towards the top of the screen. If I put my finger on the edge of the phone on or just below the volume down button and then touch the screen in the middle at about that level I am right on it. You can also touch just up from the home key and find the End Call button and then swipe left I think twice. First one is for the DialPad and then I think it's Speakerphone. Voicreover will say "Speakerphone is Off" button and if you double tap it and check again it will say "Speakerphone is On" button.

First of all, Voiceover accessibility is, as far as I can tell, fully there. However, the interface is completely different and will need a bit of getting used to. Having said this, I really like what I have seen so far. For one thing, the app loads super fast and this is something that is mentioned in the What's new. The first time I opened it after the update a video started playing. I let it play and after maybe 15 or 20 seconds it stopped and I had a "Skip Video" button. Once I was in the app I noticed that now there are 2 buttons, one on the top left called the "Skype Home" button and another at the top right called "My Info, Online" button. If I double tap this I have a Back button at the top left and then a nice summary of everything related to my status and account: First my name Then a Change Profile Picture button Next a place where I can enter a mood message. Then the status button where I can change it from Online to Away, Offline and so on. Next is my Skype credit and if I double tap it I can quickly add $4.99 via an in-app purchase. Lastly is a My Account button, a Settings button and a More button. In Settings I can turn on or off push notifications, in-app notifications and in-app sounds. Under More I have buttons for Help, About, Send Feedback and Sign Out. Underneath the top where I find these 2 buttons I have now 3 items in one row: Recents, Favorites and People The order of these 3 items changes, Voiceover doesn't say they are buttons or links, but you can double tap on them and whichever one you double tap on moves to the very left. Favorites is new and for me it's empty since I haven't added any Favorites yet. People gives me all my contacts. If you double tap it you have a search field to look for somebody and there is also a table index on the right. Between the search field and the top of your list starting with "A" is a button which Voiceover announces as "All". This means all your contacts are displayed and if you double tap on this button you can choose between All and Online. Here I have to do some more exploring because in the old Skype you could tap on lists and select from All contacts, Skype Contacts, Online Contacts, Saved Phone Numbers and also bring up your iPhone Contacts. I currently don't see this any more and while "All" contains all you have in Skype including regular Skype contacts whether they are online or offline as well as saved phone numbers, one apparently can't filter by this any more.

Yeah, sorry, it could've been phrased a little more clearly I know, a friend helped me to find it though, if you search for Skype Wi-Fi and then go down to the section that says developer apps, Skype for iPhone is the first one.

Hi Neal, according to Skype's blog, they're days away from a global release of the rewritten iPhone app. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org On 13/06/2014, at 3:28 am, Neal Ewers wrote: > Hi, You say.

Hi, You say. "They've pulled it ahead of the 5.0 update." I don't know what this means. Did they pull it for good because people didn't like it? I don't know what "Ahead of" means in this context.

The first time I opened it after the update a video started playing. I let it play and after maybe 15 or 20 seconds it stopped and I had a "Skip Video" button.

Lastly is a My Account button, a Settings button and a More button. In Settings I can turn on or off push notifications, in-app notifications and in-app sounds. Under More I have buttons for Help, About, Send Feedback and Sign Out. Underneath the top where I find these 2 buttons I have now 3 items in one row: Recents, Favorites and People The order of these 3 items changes, Voiceover doesn't say they are buttons or links, but you can double tap on them and whichever one you double tap on moves to the very left. Favorites is new and for me it's empty since I haven't added any Favorites yet. People gives me all my contacts. If you double tap it you have a search field to look for somebody and there is also a table index on the right. Between the search field and the top of your list starting with "A" is a button which Voiceover announces as "All". This means all your contacts are displayed and if you double tap on this button you can choose between All and Online. Here I have to do some more exploring because in the old Skype you could tap on lists and select from All contacts, Skype Contacts, Online Contacts, Saved Phone Numbers and also bring up your iPhone Contacts. I currently don't see this any more and while "All" contains all you have in Skype including regular Skype contacts whether they are online or offline as well as saved phone numbers, one apparently can't filter by this any more. At the bottom of the screen are a few buttons and they may change depending on where you are. If you are in your People view you have buttons for "DialPad", Message" and "More". One thing which is fantastic is that the DialPad now works in touch typing mode even when you are on a call and bring up the DialPad to enter numbers during your call. In the past only the main DialPad where you would dial your phone number would work in touch typing mode and yo

Underneath the top where I find these 2 buttons I have now 3 items in one row: Recents, Favorites and People The order of these 3 items changes, Voiceover doesn’t say they are buttons or links, but you can double tap on them and whichever one you double tap on moves to the very left. Favorites is new and for me it’s empty since I haven’t added any Favorites yet. People gives me all my contacts. If you double tap it you have a search field to look for somebody and there is also a table index on the right. Between the search field and the top of your list starting with “A” is a button which Voiceover announces as “All”. This means all your contacts are displayed and if you double tap on this button you can choose between All and Online. Here I have to do some more exploring because in the old Skype you could tap on lists and select from All contacts, Skype Contacts, Online Contacts, Saved Phone Numbers and also bring up your iPhone Contacts. I currently don’t see this any more and while “All” contains all you have in Skype including regular Skype contacts whether they are online or offline as well as saved phone numbers, one apparently can’t filter by this any more.

One thing which is fantastic is that the DialPad now works in touch typing mode even when you are on a call and bring up the DialPad to enter numbers during your call. In the past only the main DialPad where you would dial your phone number would work in touch typing mode and you still had to double or split tap the DialPad for entering numbers during a call. I think this makes Skype the only Voip app where touch typing on the DialPad is fully supported. OK, that’s about it for now.

Lastly is a My Account button, a Settings button and a More button. In Settings I can turn on or off push notifications, in-app notifications and in-app sounds. Under More I have buttons for Help, About, Send Feedback and Sign Out. Underneath the top where I find these 2 buttons I have now 3 items in one row: Recents, Favorites and People The order of these 3 items changes, Voiceover doesn't say they are buttons or links, but you can double tap on them and whichever one you double tap on moves to the very left. Favorites is new and for me it's empty since I haven't added any Favorites yet. People gives me all my contacts. If you double tap it you have a search field to look for somebody and there is also a table index on the right. Between the search field and the top of your list starting with "A" is a button which Voiceover announces as "All". This means all your contacts are displayed and if you double tap on this button you can choose between All and Online. Here I have to do some more exploring because in the old Skype you could tap on lists and select from All contacts, Skype Contacts, Online Contacts, Saved Phone Numbers and also bring up your iPhone Contacts. I currently don't see this any more and while "All" contains all you have in Skype including regular Skype contacts whether they are online or offline as well as saved phone numbers, one apparently can't filter by this any more. At the bottom of the screen are a few buttons and they may change depending on where you are. If you are in your People view you have buttons for "DialPad", Message" and "More". One thing which is fantastic is that the DialPad now works in touch typing mode even when you are on a call and bring up the DialPad to enter numbers during your call. In the past only the main DialPad where you would dial your phone number would work in touch typing mode and you still had to double or split tap the DialPad for entering numbers during a call. I think this makes Skype the only Voip app where touch typing on the DialPad is fully supported. OK, that's about it for now. The main thing is that Voiceover accessibility is still as good as ever and it's safe to update. Regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Hi Sieghard, Bria for iPhone also fully supports touch typing on the dial pad, and has for some time.
