Thanks, Tiffany, I thought I might have imagined it there, because it is fully
in English now, after I reloaded the program. However, I am not sure I like
this default voice they have. It is very human-sounding, but I have a 3-ghz
Pentium with 512 megabytes, but still when I arrow down a page, just skimming
something I put on the scanner, it seems to respond slowly. I may have to try
one of the others and see if it is a little more spritely. I want to stay away
from the ViaVoice engine, however, as that used to crash a lot on my OpenBook.

On my computers I still only have version eight and nine, and my friend has
version ten, and the two of us both come across this. Not only when changing
settings, but even right in the middle of reading a page.. of English
none-the-less! My computers seem to prefer French and German, while my friend's
changes to something Asian. Neither of us can figure why this happens, because
what's worse, is that we haven't installed any additional languages, so why, or
even how, it changes we don't know. This happens with both the reading and
message voice. Sometimes it's only one or the other, while other times it's
both at once. Usually I cannot undo it, so what I do is save the file based on
my already having memorized the keystrokes, and then I close and reopen the
program. At that point everything goes back to my default settings.

I just installed the K1000 demo, and I was just looking through the menus
to see what was in them. I notice that in the scanning settings, when changing
the delay between repeated scans, and in changing the scanning brightness, the
voice changes and speaks in a foreign language I cannot identify. Anyone heard
of this? I guess I gotta read the manual at some point, but this seems a
little weird. If it is speaking English all the rest of the time, why would it
change languages for just those two settings, at least those are the only ones
I have seen so far. I haven't looked at all of them, yet. Still, very strange.
