[blindlaw] foreign language and JAWS

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

This is good to know as I was considering the Spanish program to brush up on 
my Spanish from my high school days and more than street Spanish that I 
sometimes hear from my clients.

I have the Russian version and love it.  BUT, since I am blind it is totally
limited because it is visually based.  The program flashes pics at you and
asks questions.  After you progress a fair amount you get to a point where
the program simulates conversations by flashing series of photos in
relatively rapid succession.  Not good for those with vision problems.  If
you have any vision issues I suggest you avoid this program.

I realize this is an out-of-leftfield question, but I was wondering if any
of you have used the foreign language software Rosetta Stone so you can take
advantage of knowing a second language for your practice. I'm thinking about
investing in the Spanish software to brush up on my Spanish so I can be
fluent again. I was wondering if this software is accessible for JAWS users
or blind folks in general or if I'd need a sighted person to run the program
for me.

Thanks.

Mike
