Hi Bob, try this. One, open the jaws menu. Two, select German, do what you
need to. Three, open the menu again and select English. I don't know if
there's an option for on the fly in that version but if so, that would
automatically give you German, say on those sites, and English when you checked
mail, for instance. Hope I helped a bit. And it wasn't that long, no worries
smile.

Dear list,
Sorry the following turned out so long, but do need help!
Being interested in learning German, I found a couple of web sites that look
promising. I thought, though, that before down loading anything I should check
to see if Jaws would be able to read that language properly when it appears on
the screen. I went to Jaws 6 which is on my desktop, entered, which brought up
the context menu. I entered on open; found language, and entered, found two
items: Jaws language, which as I remember contained American English, English,
and Spanish. (sorry this is getting so long)! closed that, and on the
previous list found, language synthesizer. Entered on that, and lo and behold
found a long list of foreign languages including German. Entered on that dis
covered it did a really good job of reading everything in my computer with a
almost un-understandable German accent; but did a beautiful job with some real
German I typed in.
Now the problem. I couldn't turn off the German talk!!! I tried everything
I know-which isn't very much; including reboot, complete turn off. German was
still there when computer turned back on. Finally after a couple of hours, and
an over-night rest and turning on computer again, and some more piking around,
German disappeared and English Jaws returned. My question finally is, what
should I do to close down the use of German and returning to English?
