Hi Mairead,I would have found the same with accessing French and Spanish texts with JAWS. I can only say, slow down the voice until it is comfortable on your ear, and you can comprehend what the software is reading. With time, and practice, it will become easier, - JAWS seems to be best in English, but other languages are possible too with practice. This is where Braille surpasses synthetic speech!
Good luckAudrey----- Original Message ----- From: "Mairead O Mahony" <maireadomahony@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi all As part of my course I am studying german. When I am required to read german I change the option in jaws to read german but I find it really difficult to understand. I have tried downloading samples ofprerecorded german voices but I find them hard to understand and unclear. I would appreciate it if anybody has any suggestions on suitable voices that I could purchase or changes I could make for reading german.
