[nabs-l] JAWS and foreign languages

[Laurel and Stockard]

Hey Jules. I majored in French in college and will have my degree in it come December, when I officially get my diploma. I've used both JAWS and voiceover in French and can help you out. If you wanna email me off list I can help you set up a French keyboard, and generally I can help you with anything related to French. My email is laurel.stockard at gmail.com
Seriously, I'm happy to help you out in any way that I can. :-)
