Ken,
The first thing to do is to ensure that Jaws has "detect languages" off
throughout all applications. I also have Word's detect languages option
(tools, language) disabled.
Best wishes
Robert

Oggetto: [jaws-uk] Speaking in French/German accents
All,
From time to time, I find Jaws suddenly decides to speak in a very heavy
French or German accent. This can happen on web sites (I use IE8), Word
documents (Word 2007) and emails (Windows Mail). All these are being run on
Jaws Vista and Jaws 11, but I do remember this happening in the past with XP
and earlier versions of Jaws, and earlier versions of the applications too.
I rather assume there is some sort of formatting in the document that makes
Jaws behave like this, but I can never find anything, and sighted people who
originate the documents can't see anything to trigger the change.
Sometimes, after reading in this accent for a while, Jaws will switch back
to English, but it is then an old Jaws voice that is being used (old in Jaws
terms rather than sounding like an aged person).
Does anyone else experience this, is it something in my settings, or is it
in the document. If the latter, can I do anything about it or do I need to
go back to source?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Ken
