Nope, having an Italian keyboard doesn't have any affect on what language Jaws 
uses.
Where is that don't detect language automatically button?
I didn't see it in options anywhere...
Thank you,

In addition, National Braille Press has a small volume entitled "It's Not on 
the Keyboard" that suggests convenient methods for writing foreign accents and 
switching among languages. NBP has stopped its run of the braille publication 
and is giving remaining copies away free with orders of $20 or more. 
Unfortunately, the website has no details of this offer, and so you need to 
call. You can get the phone number from the website at 
www.nbp.org
If you want to buy it, I believe the purchase price is just $5. There may also 
be an ASCII-text download version.

To change the keyboard language layout, you'd go into Control panel then 
regional settings. And add the languages from the list there. I believe there's 
a check box that needs checking in order to use the short cut keystroke to 
toggle among languages as well. It's the left alt+shift keys. This is in XP by 
the way.

 

I'm always switching among US English, Spanish mexico and German for my 
translations. Works like a charm.

Hello,

two things:

First when I change my voice profile to Italian and go to read a word document 
it reads it in the American voice. So this leads me to think there must be some 
kind of setting telling Jaws that "This document is English." I'm wondering if 
anyone knows where this setting might be?

Also, a little off topic, but how does one change their keyboard to Italian so 
I can get the i`s and whatnot?

Thank you,

 

Brandon Keith (Biggs)

I'd just go into the jaws settings and turn language detection off, if I 
remember right its in the user settings in J-11.

 

HTH,

  Is there a fast key command to change voice profiles?

  Because I'm doing two or three things at once sometimes and I will need my 
English voice for everything but these documents.

  Thank you,

  Brandon, the way to change languages on the fly is to do voice profiles. The 
reason I don't encourage language dection is that jaws doesn't do a great job 
identifying the languages. Specially on documents. On web pages, it depends on 
the creator of the web page and it usually does a great job. But my suggestion 
is to create a voice profile. That is what I did and it works very nicely in 
deed.

   

  Saluti e buona fortuna,

   

  Yadiel

  Subject: Document's language?

   

  Hello,

  I posted a little while back if there was an easy way to change Jaw's 
language for each document?

  Attached is one document that uses the Italian language and the other uses 
the American voice.

  I copied the text into a document I got from Italy and then erased the old 
text that was there, so all that's left is what I want.

  But again, this would take hours of replacing text and making sure everything 
was done right, I might as well just find out what setting triggers this change?

  Is it the font?

  Thank you,
