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.)

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
