JAWS, Skype: Script revision 194 released at https://www.dlee.org/skype/ :
* If characters were lost as you typed into a chat or SMS window, this shouldn't happen anymore.
* Very long messages are not cut short in split-window view, and they don't say "region" either.

General, bio: https://www.dlee.org/readouts/ is now a perpetually current index of audio articles that, until today, were not well known, that I have written over the past few months to explain various elements of my beliefs and philosophy. readouts/000 explains how these work and why I call them readouts. More may appear from time to time, and many tend to have a Christian bent.
We need and may not e'er agree,

General, Clubhouse, PSA: I hear in the blind community that Clubhouse will become Shortcut in September. True and false. The Clubhouse project management tool is renaming. But this is because the Clubhouse audio app is so popular now. The audio app is keeping its name. Reference: https://clubhouse.io/blog/clubhouse-changing-our-name-to-shortcut/
Shortcut
Clubhouse's name is now Shortcut
They say there are no shortcuts in life, and they were mostly right about that. Until now. Goodbye Clubhouse. Hello Shortcut.
JAWS, Skype: Script revision 197 posted at https://www.dlee.org/skype/
Features include [ B for reading Skype Credit balance and a few fixes to chat handling.
Heads up, I expect the next script release, not this one, to run alongside the Vispero JAWS scripts instead of replacing them. That will also include raising the minimum JAWS version from 17.0 to 2018. This current release should be the last release before I do that.

NVDA, PSA: There is now a rapidly budding, searchable source for NVDA add-ons at https://nvda-addons.org
I see 286 add-ons so far, and I think this is its first day of official service. You can look for add-ons by name, words in description, or other criteria. There is also a newsletter option for receiving notification of updates.
This is not my project; I'm just advertising it; and it looks cool to me. A few things are still being worked out, such as publication dates for some add-ons that say 1970 until updated.

JAWS, NVDA, TeamTalk, PSA: Read https://www.dlee.org/teamtalk/ and what follows for tools, JAWS scripts, etc.
The TeamTalk Classic client was declared legacy today - good, not bad, though sooner than I predicted. It will remain for a while but with reduced updates. We can now use the regular Qt client with much more accessibility than before.
For a migration tool and guide, JAWS scripts for the Qt client, etc., see my TeamTalk resource page: https://www.dlee.org/teamtalk/
For the official Classic client fate announcement, and directions for migration without my tool, see https://bearware.dk/?p=1212

JAWS, TeamTalk: New scripts for the Qt client, which is gradually replacing the Classic client as our best accessible solution - see also my previous post. https://www.dlee.org/teamtalk/qt/
JAWS, TeamTalk Qt: Script revision 357 for the Qt client posted, with nine fixes, mostly for the handling of combo, edit combo, and spinner fields. https://www.dlee.org/teamtalk/qt/
JAWS Alert Manager (JAM): Revision 88 released at https://www.dlee.org/jam/ to fix the directives file, shorten the end-of-store sound, and possibly fix a problem during installation of ConfigNames.ini not being fully updated. This problem appears to be at the Windows level though, and I am not able to reproduce it here though I saw at least one report of it. The symptom is that some JAM keys don't work as expected but may start working on a reinstall of JAM.
Correction to JAM announcement: The file troubled by incomplete updates for a few people is default.jkm, not ConfigNames.ini.
TeamTalk, TTCom: Revision 1262 is posted with some nine enhancements; read release notes and find the download from https://www.dlee.org/ttcom/#hist
Highlights:
* Support for BearWare accounts as required on some public and professional TeamTalk servers.
* New man and www commands for finding documentation.
* The current server's shortname is shown as part of the TTCom prompt.
* A "prefix" shortcut for repeated messaging with one person.
* A nickLimit command to cut off long nicknames in channel summaries and such.
* A few new features to improve support for TeamTalk 5.8.1 servers.
* Documentation enhancements.

General, Audir, Virtual Audio Cable (VAC): Audir revision 408 is posted at https://www.dlee.org/audir with eight enhancements, including approximate FM radio simulation effects, better handling of wide terminals, and support for the SoX -d option for default devices. See the Revision History section for details. Note that I welcome input on how to make the FM simulations more accurate.
JAWS, Slack, Microsoft Teams: Anyone using my scripts for either of these: If you hear message text in a strange order, use the sequence [ F to change the message format to Native. Both Slack and Teams have been making significant changes to message format recently. I may address issues like [ number sequences not working sometime soon, but I want the message formats to settle down first.
JAWS, Skype: Script revision 203 posted; DO NOT use BX Update. Get the full installer from the download link at https://www.dlee.org/skype/
* Vispero Skype scripts work alongside these, so Vispero keystrokes work. This change is why BX Update is not enough for this update.
* The minimum supported JAWS version is raised from 17.0 to 2018 to accommodate the above inclusion safely.
* Call duration, played voicemail time, and perhaps other extra items speak where appropriate in chat history.

* Insert+T in an active meeting includes an estimate of the number of participants.
* The sequence [ P for going to the previous screen area is changed to [ Shift+N.
* Some chat message types that said nothing should now read properly.
* Alt+Up/Down for moving among chats again speaks the new chat name. May also work in the Activity app.

JAWS, Skype: If you migrated settings to JAWS 2022 and the Skype scripts didn't work, re-install them from https://www.dlee.org/skype/
If you have not migrated yet, make sure you are running Skype script revision 103 or later before migrating, so that the Skype scripts will migrate properly.

JAWS, Rig Manager, update and request: Rig Manager script revision 44 is posted for Rig Manager 3.2.57. See release notes for details and download link in same document: https://www.dlee.org/rig/#hist
To answer a frequent question: Rig Manager is control software for Kemper Profiler equipment and is of interest to guitar and bass players. See https://www.kemper-amps.com
If anyone wants me to further update the scripts for Rig Manager 3.2.57, I need to talk to a user who can answer a few questions. Some are visual. Examples:
* Are the rating stars now always graphics instead of text asterisks?
* If you Shift+Tab once from the treeView, is that tabstop supposed to be functional? It is an edit control but may not be visible. It is also a key trap. The new Ctrl+Shift+T command is included mostly so you can get out of that trap.
