That's really a hardware term; I guess I should have said OCR
package--that K 1000 to which he referred.

Scanning engine? What do you mean?

He clarified matters for me when he mentioned the
scanning engine. That has to be the X factor.

perhaps, as with html, there are document
languiage tags which may be associated with .pdf files? In JAWS8, you
can stop a different 'dialect' version of same language from comingg up.
(Hazy on precise details, as I mostly use an Apollo 2 external
synthesiser.)

That's interesting. all that should
have been required was going back to the language menu, as described in
your note, and reselecting the English version of Eloquence.
Fortunately, given the heavily accented English, it's the first choice
on that submenu. There must be other issues in play, if you had that
much trouble.
That language can be a tricky thing.
I've had some PDF files that defaulted to a British accent, for reasons
I was never able to fathom. It's my personal opinion that British
Eloquence sounds more than a little silly, and any UK native would find
it totally ridiculous. However, as you point out, the actual foreign
languages can be a God send on texts written in that language, or even
for occasional words and phrases, which don't phoneticize properly in
English.

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?
