I suspect this is skype not
quite getting it right, but am not sure.
This is one of
the reasons I greatly prefer using a external helper with
skype even though they mostly have gotten accessibility right
finally.
SKCMD is my favorite as it can even be run in a console, but
last I tried pidgin was very nice for skype chat as well.
For those not familiar with SKCMD, it is a python2 command
line interface to skype. It lets you call, chat, answer, check
voice mail, send tones and more. Answering incoming calls is
easy as well. You just type skmd some command. I use aliases
to save on the typing, e.g. skall some number to call, skat
some skype handle to start a chat, vms to get a list of voice
mail messages, hang to hang up, skan to answer, test to make a
test call, etc.
This fine helper ap is in the python cheese shop, or just grab
it directly from github and install with the following
commands.
Download and install as follows:
git clone http://github.com:/lsmithso/skcmd.git
cd skcmd
sudo python2 setup.py install
See the readme for full instructions.
skype4py is a dependency, but in latest version(s) should be
installed automatically if it's not already installed.
Can someone tell me what pidgin plug-in to get for best
results with skype on Arch-Linux? There were quite a few in
the aur last I checked, but packages get made and left there
forgotten about, and many have not worked for years.

Dear users,
I have found out, that Orca can not speak chat messages
inside Skype chat window correctly. I must always press
SHIFT+TAB and TAB to get wanted chat message to speak. So
while pressing up and down arrow keys, Orca do not speak
chat messages.
The question is, if problem is caused by qt-at-spi, or qt
libraries do not allow developers of qt-at-spi to get this
kind of information. I would like to know, which group of
core developers have made qt-at-spi and QT4 libraries in
C++. I would like to know that so it would be possible to
contact The core developers to fix it.
If this problem have not been caused by The The C++
developers of Skype, who did not correctly implemented QT4
accessibility standards while they were designed The GUI of
Skype.
