Hi, In my old job I was using Office 2013 MSI so that explains the issue there for me missing some messages. We have Skype for Business at the new place but mostly use Slack. Sorry about the delay in messages, all sorted now. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Glen Gordon <GGordon@VFOGroup.com> Sent: 02 June 2018 00:12 To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Jaws and Skype for Business Hi, If you're running the combination of JAWS 2018 and Office 365, incoming chat messages should speak both when a conversation is in focus and/or it's been minimized. You also get an announcement the first time someone else starts a new conversation with you. If you're running the MSI version of Office, no such luck. The UIA infrastructure needed for JAWS to detect this info was added to Skype For Business after the MSI version shipped and the code was not back ported. If your expirience is not as I outlined above, please reach out to me off-list so that we can get to the bottom as to why. (It's not that I object to you saying this to the list, only that it will rapidly get into the specifics of your system and why things aren't as expected.) --Glen Glen Gordon VFO | Vice President & Chief Technology Officer 11800 31st Court North, St. Petersburg, FL 33716 T 727-299-6230 ggordon@vfo-group.com www.vfo-group.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew@hodgson.io> Sent: Friday, June 1, 2018 12:52 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Jaws and Skype for Business Hi, I used it with the voice part whilst at my previous job and it worked very well without any scripts so I don't think you will have a problem really.

As you may know, Skype for business is a rebranding of the older Lync software. Does anyone have experience of its accessibility and any additional steps one must take to enhance the usability of this? I know that there are some scripts around, but wanted to get peoples' thoughts.
