Hi Paul, What language setting are you using in the Settings - alt+t - then choose the reading dialogue? If you don't know it, press the tab key a few times and you will hear, "the language being read will be evaluated once per page/per paragraph". the once per paragraph setting is what you will want, I think, and you pick it by highlighting it when you arrow to it, and then apply/ok your change. What should happen then is that (if you installed all languages for Eloquence: If you didn't, it would be a good idea if you did) - then the Spanish should be read and pronounced as correctly as you're going to get via the computer; and of course the accented letters likewise. Ideally, for OCR purposes, you would have also installed European languages for finereader and ScanSoft engines to recognise when scanning. (The Eloquence all languages option will come up during the guided installation - one of the non-default installation options.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Dromey" <pdromey@xxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 12:46 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Kurzweil Reading Accented Letters Hi all. Is there a way to get Kurzweil to recognise the accentuated letters used in different languages? I'm trying to scan Spanish stuff and I'm being slowly driven crazy trying to figure the meaning of some words where Kurzweil tries to read the acute and other accents and comes up with words that don't exist. It's hard enough trying to learn without also having to guess at what the scanned word might be. I'm using Kurzweil Version 10 Paul _____ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter for Personal use.
