[nabs-l] Changing JAWS and VoiceOver to Spanish Language

[sami osborne]

Hi Helga.

For yh first question about Jaws, to change languages, open the 
Jaws window, press altogether to get to the menu bar, press down 
arrow until you get to the voices submenu, press enter on this.  
The first option in this sub-menu will be voice adjustment, press 
enter on that.  Then press Tab 3 times until you get to 
synthesiser language, then press the Down Arrow until you get to 
Spanish and press Enter, and now your Jaws is in Spanish! Note: 
there are actually 2 choices for Spanish: Castilian Spanish (from 
Spain) and Latin American SpaanishddAl, I prher using this method 
rather than the Jaws Language Menu because it has been with my 
experience that Jaws would say that changing the language is 
unavailable in that menu.
Now to write accented letters in Spanish, when you're in a word 
document or anywhere else where you can write, press ctrl 
apostrophe, and you have your accented symbol inserted, then all 
you have to do is press A, E, I, O, or U (the letters in which 
there are accets in Spanish).
Now to answer yh other question, yeseax is possible to do Spanish 
on the BrailleNote Apex (I use mine all the time to translate 
documents for my school into Spanish).

I hope that I have helped you,

Sami.

 Hi guys, this is Helga! How are you all? I just wanted to tell 
you that I’m going to be taking a CLEP exam this summer  around 
June.  The reason I’m going to be taking this exam is because in 
order for me not to take Spanish classes, since I already Speak 
Spanish, and I already took it when I was in high school.  If I 
take this exam, and if I pass it I will get 8 credits with it, 
rather than just taking a Spanish class where I would    only 
receive 3 credits.  Actually, my mom will help me review and 
practice my Spanish punctuation skills, and writing skills in 
order to get ready for this test! I just wanted to ask you, how 
can I change JAWS and VoiceOver to Spanish Language in order for 
me to practice my Spanish writing punctuations and skills? And 
also could you tell me how can I do the accents symbols and all  
other types of symbols when I’m writing words and phrases in 
Spanish by using JAWS on the computer? And also, do yu know if it 
is possible to write in Spanish in the BrailleNote Apex? Just 
curious! I will really appreciate it, if you could help me and 
give me some suggestions regarding this.  Hope to hear from you 
soon.  Thanks so much and God bless!!
 P.S.  Sorry, sorry, for asking you all these questions! Thanks 
again!
