JAWS Scripts For Skype 3.1 and 3.2

Revision 550

This is mostly a bug fix release to follow revision 504, though there are a few new features as well. In particular, there is an experimental new command interface described at the end of this section, and it allows you to read up to the last ten SkypeWatch notifications, not just the most recent one.

A quick note to anyone who grabbed a revision between 504 and 550: This revision should fix any "Unknown function call to KeyMapChangedEvent" messages and should also improve the handling of checkboxes in Options > Sounds for some users. The earlier revisions no longer remain here because of those problems.

Fixes and features:

• The check marks in Options > Sounds should now speak. They will not work in Braille at this point though. I continue to work with Skype (the company) to try to get a more generally accessible solution to this problem put in place. If you still don't hear "checked" or "unchecked" in Options > Sounds, your machine is probably using a color depth, color scheme, or screen resolution that the scripts don't understand. I did not write more code for the check boxes in Options > Hotkeys because these already work for some people and I don't know how to avoid causing problems by messing with this.
• JAWSKey+V will now produce a tree structure if you're running JAWS 9, like it will for other applications in that JAWS version. Thanks to Tyler Kavanaugh for sending the code for this.
• Ctrl+M should now work in Skype versions after 3.5.0.158.
• JAWS will now say both the name and the call status of conference participants as you arrow through the participant list for a conference.
• Arrowing past the bottom of the History list should no longer cause double speech.
• JAWS will now warn if the CapsLock is on when a Skype chat window receives focus (this was requested by Jim Grimsby and was quick to do).
• Chat lines containing a vertical bar (|) will now read completely. Previous script versions cut such lines off at the vertical bar.
• SayAppVersion (Ctrl+JAWSKey+V) now flashes in Braille, displays in the JAWS user buffer on a double press, and more precisely conforms to the standard behavior for that command.
• Ctrl+numbers should now land in sensible places for all Skype tabs. This should minimize the need to Tab and Shift+Tab every time you switch to a new tab, I hope.
• Error messages produced by Ctrl+Shift+O should now flash in Braille.
• If pressing an Alt+number twice to get a virtual view of a chat line caused a delay of a few seconds before anything happened, this should no longer be the case.
• Ctrl+Tab to move through chat windows should be faster.
• The BSD license now officially applies to these Skype scripts and all code therein. I've been getting occasional questions about licensing, so this should clear those up. In a nutshell, the BSD license allows anyone to use, modify, and/or distribute the scripts and code as long as the license itself is included and they don't use the authors' name(s) to endorse or promote something else without permission. The full license now appears at the bottoms of the main source files.

This script version also contains an experimental interface which I will call the "JAWS command system" or just the "command system." This interface is not like the normal one-key-per-command interface of modern JAWS scripts, though its structure may be familiar to PAC Mate users and resembles the menu system of modern Windows applications. The commands you all know still remain; this is an additional method of doing some things. The rest of this section describes the new interface in some detail, for anyone who wants to try it. The author is quickly coming to prefer it over the original commands, but that's just me.

The new interface consists of sequences of keys that run scripts instead of just single commands that do so. The left square bracket key ([) is a sort of prefix key, after which you can hit other keys to do other things. Hitting the left bracket key twice just types one, in case you need to do that. I picked that key because it's rarely used in Skype. In fact, the main motivation for writing this interface was the problem of running out of keys to use for Skype script commands. This way, we can have as many commands as we want and never need more than one key that could interfere with the application.

Hitting a left bracket will say "Skype" to let you know you've entered the JAWS command system for Skype. The keys you can currently hit after a left bracket are

[

Just type a single left bracket and return to Skype. In other words, you can get a plain left bracket just by hitting it twice.

C

Chat commands.

N

Notification commands.

T

Tab commands.

After going to Chat commands or Tab commands, the following keys can be used:

1-0

Switch to specific chat windows or tabs and exit the command system.

Shift+1-Shift+0

Say the names of specific chat windows or tabs without switching to them and without exiting the command system. You can use this feature to review chat or tab names and then just press an unshifted number to switch to the one you want.

l

List all available chat windows or tabs and exit the command system.

Shift+l

List all available chat windows or tabs but do not exit the command system. This is a fast way to read the chat or tab names before switching to one, which you can then do just by pressing its number.

Ctrl+l

Bring up a JAWS list of chat windows or tabs from which you can select one and press Enter to switch to it. The command system exits. Some people prefer the JAWS list because of the ability to jump to chats or tabs by typing initial letters.

Esc or any key without another function

Exit the command system without doing anything else.

After going to Notification Commands, plain numbers will read up to the last ten received notifications. This feature is not available anywhere else in the scripts because I sort of ran out of safe keystrokes to use for it. In Notification commands, the command system is not exited by numbers, so you can read at your leisure until done. Press Escape or any other key without another function to exit the command system after reviewing notifications.

Note that any key that exits the command system also makes a short sound to let you know you are back in Skype itself. To make this possible across all supported JAWS versions, I had to include the sound file played by the scripts. There are actually two sounds included, though at this time, only one is used. The sound files are currently placed in the same folder as the scripts, though they more properly belong in the Sounds folder under your JAWS user settings folder in JAWS 6 and up, and in the normal settings\enu directory under JAWS 4 and 5. (I put the sound files with the scripts for now to avoid problems with the installer we currently use.) If you don't want the sound to play, it is sufficient to delete SkypeCommandExit.wav.

Revision 504

This is a bug fix release for Skype 3.1 and later. It uses the new SkypeWatch system but with a new implementation that, hopefully, will work more reliably than older implementations. This implementation is capable of working with either the old or the new SkypeWatch installation procedures, though the new procedure will probably provide more snappy alerts because it will notice them sooner. The older installation procedure is the one that just requires

use "skypewatch.jsb"

to be added to default.jss. The newer installation procedure is more involved and is explained on the Script Installation Instructions page.

Change list:

• New dual-mode SkypeWatch implementation that can figure out how SkypeWatch was installed and respond accordingly. The SkypeWatch code has also been rewritten to avoid relying on the JAWS NewTextEvent, which proved a very unreliable technique for catching alerts.
• Ctrl+M (for setting mood text) works again in Skype 3.1, 3.2, and 3.5 at least, by using the menu options enabled by View > Accessibility > Extended Keyboard Navigation.
• The Ctrl+Shift+L (Pick Contact and Action) feature now supports sending SMS messages to SkypeOut contacts.
• JAWSKey+F8 works again for listing and providing access to toolbar items. In chat windows, it lists the toolbar items for the chat window. In Skype window tabs, it lists toolbar items available for that tab, including the event filter for the History tab and the contact group handling items in the Contacts tab. The names of available tabs also show up even though they are not actually toolbar items, as a side effect of the way toolbar items are now found.
• When you type Alt+numbers to read chat lines, they should "flash" (appear for about five seconds) in Braille. I thought I made that one work a long time ago, but apparently not.
• Keyboard help for the say-last-alert command is now included, and the script can now be run by not only Alt+Shift+F9 but also Ctrl+ScrollLock+F9, for consistency with other similar commands in recent versions of JAWS.
• Ctrl+Shift+numbers no longer switch among Skype tabs; this is now done only by Ctrl+numbers. Both sets of commands have been enabled for the last several script versions during the conversion away from Ctrl+Shift+numbers, which don't work well in the presence of web-page tabs like Skype Live. Also, Ctrl+8 and Ctrl+9 are no longer tab-switching commands because this interferes with their functions on laptops for clicking mouse buttons.
• Double-pressing Ctrl+numbers no longer puts focus on the Skype tab control, because the tab control is not labeled and does not work normally (e.g., arrows move off of it instead of switching tabs).
• If you happen to uncheck the "Show text on tabs" option under the View menu, most things should still work.
• JAWS 7.0 and older should now read the Look In combo box properly while you arrow through it. This box appears, among other places, when you select Send File for a contact.
• A few false readings of Skype notifications and status changes should be eliminated.
• Fixed miscounting of Skype tabs for Ctrl+numbers (bug reported by Roger Cusson).

Known issues with revision 504:

• I forgot to fix the checkbox problem in Options > Sounds. This still needs to be done.
• Users of JAWS 7.0 and older will get incorrect keyboard help for Ctrl+numbers and Alt+numbers, though the commands themselves will work. This has to do with an irregularity in how JAWS 7.0 and older find help text for keys whose script calls contain parenthesized numbers. For the curious, here's a link to an explanation of the JAWS 7.0 help issue.

Revision 477sw472

This is an unusual release in that it is actually a mixture of two revisions: revision 477 of all files except SkypeWatch.jss, and revision 472 of that file. I am releasing this version because the SkypeWatch changes I put out in revision 465 are not reliable at all, and I just learned why and that it will take some coding to handle them properly. This is the old SkypeWatch system, brought into the current scripts. This is likely to be the last revision containing this older system, but it should serve until I can get the newer one working correctly.

This version also contains the following enhancements:

• A few attempts at fixing status reporting problems. Please report if you still hear incorrect renditions of your Skype status after installing these scripts.
• A few SkypeWatch efficiency improvements.
• A fix for spontaneous JAWS virtual buffers appearing when chat lines come in.

Revision 465

This is a minor release for users of Skype 3.2 and 3.5. It should also work under older Skype 3.x versions. Changes:

• The JAWSKey+Q message has again been updated. There are also a few improvements in help text.
• Added "Press Escape to close this message" to virtual buffers.
• Implemented double-strike Alt+numbers for virtualizing particular chat messages.
• Users of Skype 3.2 and later should no longer experience random Skype status change announcements when running SkypeWatch.

Download: Revision 465 executable installer | Revision 465 source and JAWS 7-9 binaries

Revision 455

This is a release just to add support for a marvelous new feature of Skype 3.5 Beta: list-format chat output windows! As of this Skype version, it is possible to read chat messages without scripts, just by scrolling through the list of messages with arrow keys. As long as you leave the chat window open, you will not lose your place in the chat output window either, which makes it much easier to follow very busy chats, such as those containing a lot of people. This script update is not required in order to take advantage of all this, but if you prefer to continue using Alt+numbers to read chat lines, you will need this script update, or you will find that the Alt+numbers start missing new lines as they come in, because the arrival of new lines does not scroll the output window down as was the case before. As a side effect of the new chat window format, action lines will now read correctly with Alt+numbers, which was never the case before. I believe the phenomenon of having the last chat line repeat at random will also disappear in Skype 3.5 with these scripts.

This version also contains the following minor improvements:

• Users of Advanced-mode JAWS verbosity should now hear the same extra information about which sounds are set to play in the Options page for Sounds as users of other verbosities do.
• I sped up the location of the main Skype window in some cases, because this is frequently executed code. This may make JAWS less CPU hungry when Skype is not in focus or is not actually running.

A couple of notes and known issues for newcomers to Skype 3.5:

• Chat lines are now automatically put in chronological order. This means a conversation will make much more sense when read later sometimes, but it can also mean that a chat line will get inserted above something you said. This happens if you're talking to someone with a slow Internet connection or who typed lines while one of you was offline and the lines arrive after you send a new one. When in doubt, poke about.
• Previous Skype versions allowed you to click at the top of a chat history window for more history. Skype 3.5 allows this also but gives you the ability to get history for today, this week, the last 30 days, the last calendar month, etc., as you choose. JAWS will now announce when you add or subtract large volumes of chat lines from a chat history window without trying to read them all. The easiest way to get to these features is to tab to the list, press Home to get to the irst entry, then route JAWS to pc and move right until you reach the option you want. Click your choice, and it will happen. If you pull up a huge volume of history lines, as in thousands, JAWS will probably start saying things like, "345 new chat messages not read, 283 new chat messages not read, 396 new chat messages not read," etc. This is because JAWS is noticing the messages as they arrive. I will probably slow down this little progress indicator barrage soon.
• Some people may have noticed that Skype puts the name of a chat message author only on the first line in a block of messages from that author. This is still true visually, but JAWS will now read the name on each chat message because of how the chat messages appear in MSAA. This is also the reason time stamps come before, not after names for JAWS users now, for those users who enable time stamps on chat lines.

Revision 446

This is a bug fix update for revision 442:

• The Skype scripts no longer interfere with SkypeWatch's detection of Skype notification windows when Skype is in focus. This was causing SkypeWatch to do nothing while Skype was in focus. Even a professional scripter can sometimes shoot himself in the foot!
• A condition allowing non-notification text to speak as if it were a notification has been fixed, or at least minimized. If after this update anyone still hears funny notifications like a day of the week, please say so on SkypeEnglish.
• The incremental search through the Select a Contact list, the first of the two Pick Contact and Action lists from Ctrl+Shift+L, now works in more JAWS and/or Skype versions.

Revision 442

This is a fairly significant update for Skype 3.2 users. It is not well tested on Skype 3.1, so reports are welcome from any Skype 3.1 users who use these. Skype 3.2.0.158 is recommended so the Options dialog will read properly.

Changes:

• Call progress messages such as connecting, ringing, no answer, call dropped, call forwarded free of charge, etc. should speak automatically again in active call panels.
• A lot of extra speech in the Options page has now been avoided.
• Control+Accent now lists tabs just like Ctrl+T does. This idea came from Jim Grimsby. A reminder, Control+numbers go to specific tabs now, like Ctrl+Shift+numbers have always done. The Ctrl+Shift versions will probably go away at some point. This is because they began colliding with commands provided by JAWS for web pages like Skype Live.
• SkypeWatch no longer slows down the computer if you have a large contact list.
• Skypewatch no longer relies on the contact list to track who comes and goes. Instead, it now announces Skype notification windows as they appear, just like scripts for other voice and chat systems do. This means you can decide what to be told just by setting up Skype to display or not display specific notifications. As of this writing, the following are possible:
  • If you enable tray alerts for incoming calls, JAWS will announce who is calling when a call comes in. Use tray alerts for this though, not call alerts.
  • If you set up Skype to show tray alerts when a contact signs in, the sign-in will be announced.
  • If you enable tray alerts for incoming chats, JAWS will announce who is sending the chat and also say the chat line, or the beginning of it if it is a long line. A notification window will only appear and be read if there is not already a chat window open for that contact though. If you configured Skype to open chat windows automatically as new chats come in, you will hear an alert message for only the first chat line from each person. Otherwise, you will hear an alert message for each chat message sent by a person until you open that chat window yourself.
  • If Skype is set to show tray alerts when a voice mail arrives, you will be told who sent the voicemail when it arrives.
  There may be other alert types not listed here. Check the Options dialog in Skype for more choices. Of course, shutting off SkypeWatch messages will disable all of these at once. Signouts will not be announced anymore because Skype does not produce notifications for those.
  • The somewhat controversial feature of saying "Skype" before all SkypeWatch announcements is back. This is because the Skype tray alerts for sign-ins, which say "so-and-so has just signed in," are pretty much the same as the alerts produced by other chat programs. Since SkypeWatch now just announces what is put on screen, SkypeWatch messages no longer distinguish themselves from such announcements by other programs without this prefix. Anyone who doesn't like this change can edit skype.jsm and change the line below "@msgSkypeWatchAlertFormat." The line now says

    Skype: %1

    which causes JAWS to say "Skype" and pause briefly before each announcement (assuming punctuation is not set to All). Changing the line to just %1 will remove the prefix. Beware, though, that it will also remove the prefix from the former messages "Skype status online" etc. and "Skype unloaded." Also beware that you will need to reapply this change after each future script update you install.
  • Event panel changes are no longer automatically spoken because they were getting overly frequent.
  • No custom automatic speech occurs when ScreenEcho is set to None or All.
  • AutoActions are disabled as of this release because I see no safe way to implement them in Skype 3.x. The code is not removed, but it is prevented from doing any actions.
  • It should now be possible to click with Braille routing buttons on custom field names.
  • Scripts for SkypeSetup.exe, being way out of date and no longer so necessary, are now removed from the distribution. SkypeSetup.jsb may safely be deleted as well.

  Revision 416

  This is for Skype 3.2 users mostly but may work with Skype 3.1 and 3.0. SkypeWatch reporting of status changes may not work except under Skype 3.2 though. Reports from anyone running these scripts under Skype 3.1 or 3.0 are welcome on the SkypeEnglish mailing list. These scripts are not posted on this web site under Skype 3.0 because I highly doubt the SkypeWatch status reporting would work correctly there.

  Changes include

  • Ctrl+Shift+W works again. I failed to notice a subtle rule of URL composition that was causing Ctrl+Shift+W to report that my web page could not be found even though it was perfectly functional and could be reached manually.
  • The current Skype user's status is now obtained in Skype 3.2 from an MSAA button in the Events panel instead of from the menus, because the order of statuses changed in the menus. As a side effect of this update, SkypeCOMAPI.jsh is no longer needed, so it has been removed from the distribution and may safely be deleted.
  • Recording and Playback Device combo boxes in active call tabs are now labeled, and their position info should speak and show in Braille.
  • Chat lines should now flash onto Braille displays when they come in and when alt+number commands are used to read them manually.
  • There should now be fewer extra pauses in the middle of long chat lines.
  • Took 'btn' off of a few button names where appropriate.
  • Improved code for finding tab page windows.
  • Improved identification of active call and conference windows.
  • Technical call info windows, when they come up at all, will no longer contain so many extra blank lines.

  Download: Revision 416 executable installer | Revision 416 source and JAWS 7-9 binaries
  

  Revision 403

  This is an update for Skype 3.x users. It is experimental because it has only been tested on Skype 3.2 using JAWS 8.0. Updates include

  • Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab should now say the Skype tab page name. This has often been requested.
  • The triple SayLine info for a Contact list entry should now be right in Skype 3.x. Tested in Skype 3.2.
  • The Applications key should now more consistently produce Context menus in various places.
  • Fixed a few problems with link identification.
  • Fixed ignore of MSAA in active call tab in newer Skype versions.
  • Improved identification of the Mood Text box in some situations.
  • Changed the class of chat windows from Edit to MultiLine Edit.
  • Stopped reclassing call panels.
  • Removed the one remaining custom highlight color from skype.jcf.
  • Updated the identification of Skype systray popup notifications.
  • Attempted unsuccessfully to make AutoAnswer work under Skype 3.x.
  • Fixed line ending issues that could make code look strange in some editors.

  Download: Revision 403 executable installer | Revision 403 source and JAWS 7-9 binaries
  

  Revision 390

  This is a minor update over revision 384 containing the following changes:

  • It is now possible to go into Forms mode when using a web page containing a form from within Skype itself. This happens, for example, when you try to buy Skype credit by using the Help > Buy Skype Credit option, and also when you try to use Skype Prime, which can be accessed from Tools in Skype versions new enough to support this.
  • The list in Manage Blocked Users and the fields in Edit Contact for SkypeOut contacts now speak and show in Braille correctly.
  • Renaming a contact via Rename or F2 will no longer use the previous contact's name as the field name for the edit box.
  • A new set of radio buttons in Skype 3.1's Options > Notifications page is now labeled.
  • Double speech in some cases when JAWS detects highlighting but the scripts try to override it should no longer happen.
  • JAWS should no longer read some of the hotkey list when the user arrows down to the Hotkeys page in Options.
  • The scripts again compile under JAWS 4.51.

  Download: Revision 390 executable installer | Revision 390 source and JAWS 7-9 binaries
  

  Revision 384

  This is a fairly major update over Revision 363. It should be stable but is considered beta just because changes have only been tested on a few systems so far.

  Fixes and features:

  • A huge number of fields throughout Skype now speak and show in Braille correctly. The screens for logging in and creating a new account appear to read well now.
  • Some 400 lines of obsolete code from Skype.jss have been removed.
  • Ctrl+numbers and Ctrl+T now duplicate Ctrl+Shift+numbers and Ctrl+Shift+T so the Skype Live tab users have a way to deal with tabs. Ctrl+Shift+numbers jump to place markers in a web page, and Skype Live is a web page. It may be time to drop Ctrl+Shift versions of these and just use Ctrl versions to avoid this conflict.
  • Link fields in Options will now say "Link" instead of "Edit."
  • A lot of radio buttons should now indicate their group names.
  • Options fields measured in time will now say the time unit after the field. Example: "Show me as 'away' when I am inactive for, edit, 5, minutes."
  • An active call screen will now be called a "Call panel," an active conference screen will be called a "Conference panel," and both, when focused by tab or other means, will also announce the top caller's name and the call duration without saying all the other stuff in the window as before.
  • The Options page list is now named "Pages."
  • The Options > Sound Devices track bars for adjusting input and output volume levels are now named appropriately, and arrows should work on them. These controls arrived in Skype 3.0.
  • Using the JAWS LeftMouseButton or RightMouseButton commands when the PC cursor is active will now click the current control regardless of where the JAWS cursor / mouse pointer happens to be. This is to facilitate use of links that don't (yet) respond to Space and so must be clicked.
  • Phone number fields in Edit My Profile are now given the type "phone number edit," abbreviated "phed" on Braille displays. You can type Alt+DownArrow in these fields to pull down a country code list, then pick a country code with which to prefix the field's phone number. However, I don't yet know how to save the selected country code in the phone number box. Pressing Tab, Shift+Tab, or Esc closes the list and returns to the dialog, though not necessarily into the field you just left; but at least for most of my tests, the phone number was not changed. Pressing Enter actually saves and closes the Profile page. I could use info on how this Alt+DownArrow thing is supposed to be used from the keyboard.
  • SkypeCOMAPI.jss is now removed. This means users can also delete SkypeCOMAPI.jsb manually; it was never used.

  Known Issues running under Skype 3.0:

  • These scripts do not compile under JAWS 4.51. This was fixed and then accidentally broken again between public releases.
  • Ctrl+Shift+I for technical call info does not work reliably.
  • AutoActions (ctrl+shift+a) do not work reliably.
  • Manage Other Programs' Access To Skype is not very easy to use (it should be easier in Skype 3.1 though).
  • Radio buttons are sometimes numbered backward.
  • Radio button sets in Options and maybe other places still do not show their group names in Braille.
  • Braille shows the group names of Options > Notifications check boxes incorrectly.
  • Braille does not show name or type for a lot of lists.
  • The SayLine command will say "Edit" in some places where other commands will say (and show in Braille) custom types, like "Call panel" and "Conference panel." This is because the respective windows are internally reclassed as Edit controls so that the proper calls are made for Braille support, and the custom code for handling those windows is not applied to the SayLine command at this point. JAWSKey+Tab will say the custom type. There is no plan to fix this.
  • When a Braille display is active, the PC Cursor command will be slow to respond in some places, such as in an active call tab. This does not happen if Braille is not active.
  • One read-only edit field in the SMS dialog is still not labeled because I need to figure out what it's for.

  Revision 363

  Revision 363 is considered stable but deserves a bit of testing. Features over revision 358:

  • Users of JAWS 7.0 and older should now be able to hear items while arrowing through the file/folder list when sending a file through Skype.
  • Profile fields should now be labeled correctly.

  Known Issues:

  • The method of labeling combo boxes may cause JAWS to seem a bit sluggish as you tab past one in the Edit My Profile dialog.
  • Issues listed for revision 358 still apply.

  Download: Revision 363 executable installer | Revision 363 source and JAWS 7-9 binaries
  

  Revision 358

  Revision 358 is a minor update from revision 348 and is considered a stable release in the absence of user complaint to the contrary. This revision should not be used with Skype 2.x. The differences since revision 348 are

  • JAWSKey+H and Keyboard Help are more up to date, though probably not perfectly so.
  • JAWS should now read the status of each conference connection as you arrow through the participant list of a conference, rather than just reading the participant's name. This required removal of a window reclassing from Skype.jcf that was helpful in Skype 2.x but in the way for Skype 3.0.
  • There may be a slight change in how JAWS handles highlighting in Skype dialogs, because I removed a no-longer-accurate piece of logic from the SayHighlightedText function. So far, I have not seen this change anything though.
  • JAWS should no longer read the wrong line sometimes in active conference tab participant lists and the Tools > Options page list as the user arrows through them.
  • JAWSKey+Q now reports that these scripts are primarily intended for Skype 3.0.
  • Keyboard Help mode now includes help for Alt+number and Alt+Accent commands.
  • The Ctrl+Shift+W command now goes to the new Skype script site rather than to the old one.
  • The script version number sent to the Skype script site is now the actual revision number rather than 500.

  Known issues (these also apply to revision 348):

  • A number of fields are still misnamed or not named by JAWS.
  • JAWSKey+F8 still doesn't work.
  • Ctrl+M works only after mood text has been edited once after the last Skype restart. It does not work on the first attempt, though it does turn on and off the on-screen Mood Text box. Enable View > Accessibility > Extended Keyboard Navigation, then use Tools > Edit My Mood Text to edit mood text for the first time. This is not considered a priority to fix since Skype itself now provides a means to do this.
