JAWS Scripts for WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is a popular, free, multi-platform messaging app that lets users make video and voice calls, send text messages, share their status, and more with just a Wi-Fi connection. Part of what makes this app appealing is that it works on various phone and computer operating systems, so you can continue your conversation anytime, anywhere. It can also take advantage of Wi-Fi and cellular data to make one-to-one or group calls, reducing the need for expensive calling charges. You never miss messages, but even if you miss notifications while your phone is off, the app saves recent messages for when you re-open it.

WhatsApp can identify people in your contact list who currently use the app, so you typically don't have to add them manually. You can also invite people who don't have WhatsApp or connect with other users you know but who Are not on your contact list.

In 2022, our Leasey product began offering support for WhatsApp. We're now pleased to extend the same functionality so as to support the app downloadable from the Microsoft Store. We've now got this to the point where our new interface is an absolute pleasure to use and where you can be super efficient when using WhatsApp.

Script Features In Brief.

• Keystroke to toggle between whether identification is given as to whether a person is typing or recording a message. This has four conditions: Disabled, Play Typing Indicator Sound, Indicate Who Is Typing, and Play Sound And Indicate Who Is Typing. Having these options on a quick keystroke is ideal because there will often be situations where you will want to disable this functionality.
• Keystroke to enable or disable the automatic speaking of incoming messages as they arrive.
• Option to reduce the speaking of incoming messages, so as to remove the time stamp and status.
• Keystroke to identify who is typing or recording.
• Keystrokes to read the last 20 incoming messages. Press twice quickly to play an audio message, place into the JAWS Virtual Viewer for closer inspection or to activate the Context Menu.
• Keystroke to identify the focused conversation and status.
• Plenty of keystrokes to move around the WhatsApp interface quickly without having to press Tab and Shift+Tab.
• Keystrokes for ending a call and learning if the microphone is muted or if the camera is enabled.
• Option to set a nickname to reduce spoken output for a long name or phone number.
• Keystrokes for working with attachments.
