Hi, I love Skype for Business. I would be lost without it at work and I don't think I have ever missed a message coming in. Not sure what the problem is with those who have reported this as an issue here but I always get a vocal notification from JAWS whenever a new chat window pops up because someone has pinged me. I can't remember the exact phrase but JAWS says something like: "Message from John Smith, press Windows plus A to accept" I have even managed to get a little bit out of screen sharing by reading the shared screen area with the JAWS OCR. Obviously, you need to be sure the sharing person has a still screen before doing it but this can work a little bit at least. I have though many times shared my screen to get colleagues to help me with certain inaccessible things in our company's Intranet that I have to use such as expenses claims for example. This is brilliant as I can let them have control to do the bit I am unable to do due to accessibility issues. I think you will love Skype for Business. Have no fear. Cheers, Phil. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Katherine M.

I miss tons and tons of chats that way. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Chamandeep Singh Grover via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Friday, June 01, 2018 11:03 AM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Chamandeep Singh Grover <cmusic789@googlemail.com> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Jaws and Skype for Business Hi All, The company I work for Is soon switching to Skype for Business as the internal communication tool from Cisco Jabber. 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.
