Hi Peter
When JFW encounters the romaji, it treats it like any english words. So for
myself, I have to use the cursor to read character by character in order to
make sense of the word.
You have to switch the profile to japanese voice if the webpage is in japanese.
Or, if kanji words are displayed after the romaji, you just have to switch
between the english and japanese voice.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Alvin

Subject: Reading Japanese Romaji with JFW
Hi, I've been learning Japanese for the last six months. I have a website
which has some parts in Japanese Romaji (Japanese using the roman alphabet). I
would like to be able to get JAWS to read it as it should sound but can't seem
to do it. I've download the realspeak Japanese voice but that doesn't work
either. I suspect it's because the language of the website is mainly english. I
know if I go to some Japanese sites JAWS does tell me it's Japanese. Do I need
to ask the author of the site to get it so JAWS also thinks that part of the
site is Japanese.
I hope that makes sense but I'm no expert on website publishing so don't
really know what I'm talking about.
Thanks
Peter
