hey, I now have a microphone and I am going to be downloading skype. I was wondering if anyone else had it. Of course, a lot of you might have it. Anyway, I was hoping we could talk to each other using skype.
yes,
my skipe username is iternity26
I just got it the other day. I love it. Unless I know people well enough, I don't give out my username. sorry
I don't care who has my skype or whatever, but you got it already, Shawn.
John
Love Skype. I use 3.1 and if you have Jaws there are scripts you can get to make it work a little better. Nice program.
what scripts do you use? chris n's scripts or something different
Here's the page. Not sure of the creator but these are the simplest to download and apply just download and open and it ask the version of jaws you want them to work on. Your current version displays auto.

JAWS Scripts For Skype 3.0
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
list of 12 items
• 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.

Revision 390
This is a minor update over revision 384 containing the following changes:
list of 7 items
• 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.

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:
list of 12 items
• 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.
list end
Known Issues running under Skype 3.0:
list of 11 items
• 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:
list of 2 items
• 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.
list end
Known Issues:
list of 2 items
• 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.

Hi:
I also use Skype. My skype name is in my profile. If you can't find it, my skype name is singinggirl1. Feel free to add me if you wish.
Macy
PS: What are some good USB mikes? I have an internal microphone in my laptop and it sucks.
So you are all about singing then. Hmmm,
Yes, I am. I love to sing!!!!!!
Hello, I too use skype. My name is denise9522
My skype name is James0026.
I use skype much more now that my free house phone stopped working. We've only got the one cell phone between us with 200 minutes so don't use it at all unless we're going out. lol So I'm making all my friends get skype just for me. haha
Michelle
i also use skype but on the mac from apple it is really cool. my skype link is in my profile.
i dont know the name of the u s b mick but you can look on wal mart.com to find a good one
I, too have Skype and my Skype username is: buttercup1374.
What is the point of giving out your skype name to the world? Fair enough if you want to share skype names and address and things privately, but if you put it on a message board, everyone in the world will have access to it.
good point, and I ditched Skype because I hardly sign in, so I didn't really see any point in having it at all if I was not using it.
Harmony, what are you so afraid of, what are you hiding from? Just curious.
Well, I have lots to hide, but I might share some of my stories when you skype me at:
ojosdemicorazon
Thanks for the idea of the website to find USB mikes. I'll check it out.
I am not using Windows I am using Ubuntu and Skype runs fantastic. . 10 pounds last about a year for me. . I only re-up cuz the 10.00 expire after a year. Average call is like .011 cents a minute which is great. I am here in the US and the quality is pretty sweet as well. Good Luck

aaah yeah! this guy just now talking about skype out? I just subscribed to it recently and I'm sold. I had skuype a few years before and I totally slept threw the time skype out was free and unlimited. Even being on the network I totally passed it by even though folks alerted me to it. Well after all of that and finally getting the premium service it's beautiful. However I already have unlimited long distance with Sprint and that covers my US and Canada and I think there's one more but I never use it. Just strictly US and I got the Canada because it was only 5 dollars more so what the hell! Now with skype out they give you both US and Canada. I think you can pick and choose other places too if I'm not mistaken. I have skype pro. I haven't looked up what it fully does but the few things I've seen are cool. If you have broadband you can use the conferencing feature. You pretty much have a switch board right in front of you. Sometimes when I get a call from just an ordinary computer I'll conference in my land line and I can walk around the house while I talk to a friend or partake in a skype cast. Don't quite know if you people like skype casts. I haven't yet found the limit for call transferring. I've never used more than five but since you can set up tabs and put them aside, I guess it'll go for quite a ways if you have a good connection. Off the top of my head I'd say that if you wanted more than 7 connects you may need to set up a room. For skype pro I paid 36 dollars for the rest of the year. I think it's 12 months unlimited access. It's well worth it. I also don't know if you all like having your thing set for skype me but I don't mind it. I know others do. When it gets lonely and too quiet, I turn it on and it's always interesting who calls. Occasionally I have to delete some advertising outfit, but mostly the other users are cool. I say mostly because like anything else where you invite the world, there's a certain degree of trouble one must expect. So in conclusion get skype out and take advantage of what you have in front of you. It definitely beats the days of dialpad. Oh how strange. As I typed this I had a skype call from someone who didn't speak English.
my user name is rainbowjess88.
i use skype but since getting my internet providers phone service, downloads and voip of any kind really suffer or so im told
skype can be a real resource hog. The more people connected to you the more sluggish your computer gets. Plus one time I uploaded a movie to someone. It was like 2 gigs and took the whole night. Then also if you using an older vertion of jaws it really fucks things up. Otherwise they're just small problems.
I notice if you are in a call, file transfers are much slower.
and if you're already downloading something else too. Of course being connected eats away at your band width already. To be real honest, there are still things they have to work on with connections. It good but far from perfect. Certainly it's come a long way.
i changed my mind and got Skype back. dAmn, what was i thinking.
I take back all the good things I said about skype out. Just this morning I ran out of skype credit which either I misread the fuckin thing when i subscribed to it or they are full of shit. I understood that for 36 dollars a year I'd have unlimited US and Canada calling. Am I incorrect? If so then it's my fault. If not then they're fuckin lying. That wouldn't be the first time a company claims to have unlimited service when they don't. I wanted to say something earlier but I decided to see if anyone else would respond to my post first. For those of you that don't use skype out, it doesn't change anything for you obviously. So before when i was all about recommended it, now I say forget it. Only of course if I misread the thing. I don't think so. It seems clear enough. I even had someone else read it as well since they were sold too. Now of course they ain't gonna get it. Fuck that shit. Three days is not even close to a year.
and even if someone was to say that I used crazy minutes. Sure I probably did but even so, unlimited is just that so what's the problem? Where did I screw up? I say again that if I misunderstood what was written then my apologies. Accept then again it would make sense to me that they should leave no room for questioning. If they're providing a service then you need to be told what it is you're paying for. If you have to second guess or get an interpreter for what they could be saying then fuck that.
someone told me to complain to them about it but I'll sleep on it for now until I find out if it's my mistake or otherwise. If and when I find out that I fucked up then i just simply won't resubscribe or tell anyone else too. It'll be one of many lessons I put my money on I guess!
The following is the response I got from these bastards and my short question to them about my account. Here's hoping these ass fucks honer what they say.
Hello billy
Thank you for contacting Skype Support.
This could be a temporary glitch in the system, but no others users reported
us this porblem yet.
Please come back to us on Monday and if it is still not working, then we
will refund all the calls and your purchase, and you will have to
resubscribe again.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Alec - Skype Support

I'll let you know Monday if that shit is squared off.
here is a brief update. The skype support guys refunded my money and asked that I reapply. apparently there's a fair usage claws in the fuckin thing which states they can cut you off if you use too many minutes. That's still bull shit considering I only used a few thousand but we'll see how it goes from here on in. I guess I'll just have to watch my minutes. I'll admit I did get carried away with it at first. I was calling everybody. I also like the limitless three way and I conference in a bunch of my friends at points. So I was kind of crazy with the skype pro after I subscribed to it. I thought that I paid for my minutes so let me use them. Now I just have to be sensible with it so at least for now, there's a happy ending. You people might write back and let me know if you have skype pro.
well that lasted for a few minutes now I have to write them back because my skype credet is gone. I hardly used it and it's screwed up again. So we'll see what happens now.
Um, how much do you use skype?
any1 interested, hav my skype, its: mzi1991. feel free 2 add me.
I have my skype in my profile, but if you want to add me, ask me first. I really only have two people I talk to on there.
I'm pretty much the same as shadow, I don't mind u adding me, but, in the authorization window, in that edit box put your zone user name, so that at least I know where I know u from. Skype username is in my profile if ya guys want it.
same for me. put your zone id and username.
agree with Harmony on that putting your skype name out on a board can get people adding you who you don't even know.
yeah, but then they should use common sense and before someone adds them they should identify where they are from, it just seems like comon curticy that's all.
