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...

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of CrisMunoz54 Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 7:30 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Document's language? 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brandon Keith (Biggs) Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 4:23 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Document's language? 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?

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.

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.

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?
