Dear Maggie,
 
To change Jaws's accent on the fly press control plus windows key plus
l.  This brings up a list of languages which you can arrow to and press
enter.  Interestingly there is both Castilian and Latin American Spanish
and Brazilian (but not Portuguese) Portuguese.
 
Best wishes
 
Robert

Hi Terry,
 
Your suggestion re coding of the pages is valid.  I looked at some of
the free material on the pages, and none of it have any language
switching codes.  There's a small snippet of the HTML code below my
signature.
 
George.

Hello there,

If the HTML on the web page is not properly tagged for languages, JAWS
will not respond.

One way round the problem might be to:

1 install prooffing tools and appropriate dictionaries to Word.

2 Set word to detect languages automatically.

3. copy and paste contents of web page into word document.

Better still:

write to site owner asking them to re-tab the pages with span language
tags where appropriate.

Hope this helps.

come back to me off list for detailed instructions.

Hi all,
 
I am trying to learn Spanish from a website called studyspanish.com.  I
have my JAWS verbosity settings set to "language detection, on", but
JAWS is not picking up when the text changes from one language to he
other.  I vaguely remember that there is a way of switching between
languages on the fly, without having to go back into the JAWS options
menu every time, but can't for the life of me think where to find it.
Can anyone help?
 
Muchas gracias,
Maggie
