Freedom scientific a Vispero brand language settings are something we're
really focusing on, um, with jaws high quality vocalizer expressive voices,
um, available in several languages.
And we just wanted to touch really quickly on how to, um, select
different voices, but more so how to especially use the, uh, JAWS
voice in different languages.
Um, so we really wanted to focus.
Basically how you would do that to install vocalize her expressive voices.
Many of you probably are very familiar with the process.
Um, but within the language combo box, which you access by pressing insert plus
J and then press Alt to go to the option menu, to select or add or move voices.
Um, and then in the select language combo box, you can select
the language you want to down.
Voices for and an even premium and voices list box, you can press the space
bar on the voices you want to install.
And if you'd like to test one beforehand to see if you like it, press all P
to test it out and then you can, um, select the install, selection, voices
button to begin the installation.
And, uh, one really good point.
Yeah.
Uh, Liz and Rachel brought up is that if you didn't, when you were initially
installing JAWS, you wanted the option for, um, uh, multiple languages.
Um, the best thing to do is to go to our synthesizers download
page, uh, for more free voices.
So you can just download them directly to your computer if you're
not wanting to go through that navigation, or if you just aren't,
um, You know, accessing that box when you're navigating that menu.
So it's at support.freedomscientific.com/download/synthesizers.
Um, but one great feature that's already in place.
Um, even if you don't have.
Uh, the foreign language is set up already is if you go to a webpage
jaws, automatically switches, if the voice synthesizer that
you select or the voice, um, expressive voice you selected.
Um, if it has that language compatibility, it will ultimately, it
will, uh, like ultimately read that webpage and, uh, with that language.
Um, so I think that, you know, that's just something we're really interested
on developing with our products.
So we'd love to hear about any questions or experiences people
have, um, trying to navigate
this, uh, menu or about what they would be looking for, um, in
languages that might be beneficial to them and using, uh, JAWS.
Um, so that's good for me on that one.
If we want to talk about, um, visual settings, um, improved tracking
on screen was focus rectangle.
So this one is such a great feature, uh, cause essentially, uh, we're
always looking for ways to improve our products and JAWS 2021 offers
improved screen tracking, um, and allows the sighted user to better fall
along with someone that is using JAWS.
So they can actually see what the user is hearing or navigating on the screen.
So, especially with, um, so many people working from home
or, um, wanting to share.
Friends families, um, or needing to, um, do school work with a college
instructor or, uh, it being a student in K through 12 with a TVI instructor.
This is so helpful, um, in terms of making sure that everyone can,
you know, literally be on the same page together, like someone can be
using the screenwriter in a way that makes it work for them while the
sighted person could still actually, you know, or the vision impaired
person could actually still know.
You were doing.
So I think it's a really great way for people to share technology
instead of having it, um, necessarily, uh, be something that
makes it frustrating for everyone.
Um, and then we also really want to talk about picture smart, because
if you feel like this is a feature that, uh, we want more users
to take advantage of, um, yeah.
Picture smart is so cool.
Analyzes a photo and displays descriptions and the results
viewer, um, to activate it, you press insert plus space bar
followed by P and what it does.
It provides descriptions of images on what pages, such as a photo on Facebook,
um, and to do multiple other options.
Um, so for windows you would press insert plus space bar.
Um, followed by P followed by C, but you can also use it with other products
such as Pearl flatbread scanners, um, and also windows clipboard.
Um, you'll just press P and B.
Um, and so basically it's a great way to get a description of a photo.
It's something that before would have been not accessible
at all, accessible to you.
And then, um, basically the main other thing is that
now we've added the feature.
Being able to submit images to multiple services for more accurate analysis.
So just add, um, shifts to a Picture Smart command to do this.
Um, and we're also really focusing on developing, uh, the ability to use
picture smart with multiple languages.
Um, you can find the picture smart language option, but opening
settings center and expanding the convenient OCR group.
Um, As always for more information when you're using picture smart,
