Skype Add-on Users Guide

This add-on enhances the built-in app module by porting some features from Doug Lee's excellent jaws scripts for Skype to NVDA.

This add-on only works with the classic version of Skype desktop, not the Electron or UWP apps. You can download the latest Skype classic from this direct link, version 7.41.0.101 at time of writing. If other versions of Skype are installed, you may have to uninstall them first before installing Skype classic.

Configuring Skype for Use with the Add-on

  1. The add-on currently only works with single window view, which uses a single window to display one conversation at a time, instead of using a window for each active conversation. Press Alt+V for the view menu, and press up arrow thrice.
  2. Optionally, enable more accessible mode in Skype. Press Alt+T, then O to open the Skype options. Press end to move to the Accessibility category. Using tab to explore the dialog, check the "Enable accessible mode" check box, and choose save.
