Ok all.
I’ve installed the new skype release that offers better audio quality and you can now pay for voice mail.
At the moment voice mail is good but we can’t access the record a greeting function which did work in the previous beta.
I’ve written an email to skype in the support forums and here’s the letter I wrote to them.
Please comment on this and i’ll post there reply if they decide to reply.
Fucken didiots I really hate it when a fucking developer takes away keyboard access to a perfectly usable function which was working and now it’s not.
Please find my lettter below.
Hi there.
I’m writing today to express disappointment in the fact there seem to be no keyboard shortcuts to the record and play functions in the voice mail portion of skype.
Previously you could choose options then click the voice mail tab and could use your tab key to access the record and play buttons.
This functionality is especially useful for blind people such as myself.
How are we meant to record a new voice mail greeting now that access to the record and playback functions have been taken away from us?
It appears now to record a new voice mail greeting, you have to click a picture on the voice mail window.
This isn’t going to work for blind people who use screen reading technology and I urge the skype developer’s to restore this keyboard access to the voice mail greeting functionality.
This was working fine in the previous beta so why take a perfectly good feature away from us?
Can I please have an undertaking from you that this functionality will be restored in a future release?
I’ve paid good money to use voice mail and can’t record a greeting because keyboard access has been taken away and I can’t use a mouse to access the record picture on the screen.
If there is another way of recording a voice mail greeting, please let me know.
Can you bring out a release asap so I can use voice mail and record a greeting?
Thanks for your assistance on the above.
