Skype for business weird issue


Mike Cormier <michel.cormier@...>
 

Good morning,                                            

 

In my organization, we used to have MS lync.  We are moving over to Skype for Business 2016 which is part of the Office suite 2016.

 

Prior to Skype for business, my MS Lync did not automatically read text messages as they were sent to me.  With Skype for business now, it is doing the same.  I thought this was normal until I listen to a FS webinar where JAWS was reading the texts as they appeared on the screen.  It was giving all kinds of feedback which is very nice.

 

I verified my sfb settings in JAWS and read text automatically is checked.  I even unchecked it and rechecked it and still no change.  I hear a sound to alert me when a Skype message arrives or when someone replies to me but JAWS does not read the message unless I shift tab to the message area from the input area to read it manually.

 

Any help that anyone would have to fix this would be appreciated as I could find nothing on line or in the FS technical support.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Mike
