Hi,
I hadn't actually thought about that, but it may be something to try. Quebec is
quite odd in that the cnib doesn't have as much of a presence as it does in the
rest of Canada. I lived in Montreal for about 2/1 years, but at the time I was
focused on having babies and not learning computer technology. I learned how to
speak French when I was there but not how to read or write it. But thanks for
your suggestion, it is definitely something to look into.

Hi Shea,
Welcome to the list. Have you been in touch with the CNIB (Canadian National
Institute for the Blind)?
I would suggest that their Montreal office would be a good place to start,
since just about everything over in that part of Canada is dual language -
English/French.
I'd be more than surprised if they don't have a mountain of material about
using JAWS and PCs with both languages.

Subject: [access-uk] intro and question about language features
Hi,
My name is Shea and I have just joined this list. I'm from Canada and a
totally blind university student. I want to take a French course and am trying
to find out the best way to get the technologies I have to work using French,
both reading and writing. I have a laptop with Jaws 10 and Windows XP home and
I also have a Pacmate Omni with a detachable Braille display. I have heard that
you can get Windows international keyboards or use other commands that will do
the French accents. I would love to hear any feedback from people that have
used computers to read and write French. Thanks in advance for any information.
Shea
