  2. Skype add-on with NVDA 2019.3 and Python 3

Hi Sarah,

 

I downloaded Doug Lee’s add-on from his own website sometime last year, thinking that this was the one to run with Skype 8 on my Windows 7 desktop. Am I wrong? I have yet to switch to Windows 10 in the coming weeks, hence my original query about running it with NVDA 19.3 (beta 1) and Python 3 which some of the users might test.

 

As for Skype for iPhones, that’s a different matter and  is no issue for me. It’s working OK even though I dislike swiping back and forth and not being able to use key commands to more efficiently executre commands. But, again, that’s off topic.

 

Thanks,

Cordelia

I can actually sue skype accessibly with nvda with out an add on, have ben since last year. It actually works quite well. This is skype electron direct from skype's site, not from the app store By the way.

Add-on is needed. Skype 8 works great with NVDA. I’m using the alpha builds right now and works like a champ.

Hi:

Does anybody use or test Skype add-on with NVDA 2019.3 and Python 3 on
Windows 10? If not, how readily accessible is Skype running on Windows 10
and NVDA without an add-on? I was in touch with Doug Lee, its developer, who
told me (and I paraphrase) that his add-on did not work too well with the
current and older NVDA versions. Whether and how soon he might update his
add-on, I do not know and it may depend on how useful users may find it.

Best,
Cordelia
