[Blindtlk] Weird interaction between my JAWS and Facebook

[Don Olson]

Hi Jim,

When on FaceBook, try the following:
1. Insert+shift+v to bring up personalized verbosity setting. This will be
specific to FaceBook.

2. Press the letter L once and you'll hear, "Language detect changes. 

3. Press the space bar to turn this setting off.

4. Press the enter key.

You should be good to go.

Don Olson

Subject: [Blindtlk] Weird interaction between my JAWS and Facebook

Hi there,

 

I feel like I always have the strangest or weirdest questions regarding JAWS
and my computer, but here goes.

 

I'm on facebook and have had no real problems with it when I use either the
mobile or the normal site on my laptop computer.  I have JFW Version 10, and
everything was working fine until late last week.  I figured this would be
temporary, so I left it alone for a few days, but now it is annoying.  And
no.I did not alter a single setting!

 

I go to the mobile site, and everything is fine.

However, when I go to the regular facebook.com site, it loads up OK, but the
JAWS eloquence voice thinks it is reading Spanish and begins reading in a
Latin American Spanish accent.  I know Spanish, so that's how I was able to
figure this out.

 

How can I fix this issue?  It doesn't do that anywhere else.  When I tried
on my netbook, it went to the facebook site and read it just fine.  No
problem there.

 

Thoughts?

Jim P
