Thank you Alex for your suggestion. I'll work on this in the next couple of
days. Maybe that will work. I hadn't thought of that so thanks again.

Hmm. If it's written in Faktur (gothic letters), it may create a problem.
Have you tried making sure the imported text is changed to a font Jaws reads
better? I had a book of Goethe's poems which I scanned in with OpenBook and
exported to a text file for reading with Jaws. It did just fine. Sure
there were some mistakes, what scanner doesn't make them after all, but over
all, it was sehr gut. I will say that I had the font set to Times New Roman
10 point. That's my default setting. Some scanning software tries to keep
the font of the original when it imports though, so, hence my suggestion.
Viel Glück
Alex
