[Fabs] Changing JAWS and VoiceOver to Spanish Language

Sun Mar 2 23:28:21 UTC 2014

Hello Helga,
Thanks for your information, and it is a pleasure to help.
AS far as the Iphone, I will have to take an extra look for you, even
though I have used iphones for about two years before switching to
android  last week for testing purposes, I dont remember by heart, but
will try to get back to you on that.
as far as jaws though, the process is not complicated at all:
After you manage to configure the adjustments as i said on my previous
e-mail to you (in that same window you can also change things such as
voice rate, punctuation and so on, as you may have noticed), instead
of tabbing and hitting OK, tab once more and hit save as.
It will then prompt you for a name. I would suggest something like jaws spanish.
When you hit ok, it will ask if you want to  make this the default
profile, at which point you need to hit no.
next time you would like to change the profile to practice spanish,
simply go to your jaws window, hit alt, go down until you hear voices
sub menu, press enter, and press enter again to open the voice
adjustments, just as we did on the previous configuration.
The difference is now you can just go down in the combobox when it
asks a profile, and hit enter on your newly configured jaws spanish
one.
This way jaws will automatically be ready for you to use.
When you are ready to change profiles again, do the same process as above.

I hope this could help, and I will try to find simpler ways for you to
get to this window, alright?

Let me know if this works for you and if you need anything else.
 Mauricio
