Why not just add the word in question to the dictionary manager but with the French synth option?

Cc: Jim Hamilton Subject: RE: language question Ted: Well, that's the best I have heard so far. Both sound good; but, I might prefer the first, "zhahn". Mind you, my friend's name sounds more like a "soft j" Jan; so, let's see if "zhan" does it -without the second "h". Well what do you know! That's it exactly! I shall change my dictionary accordingly. Thank you.

Cc: Nicole Massey Subject: RE: language question I'd probably tell it to pronounce it as zhahn or zhauhn. Thought it's going to have difficulty in differentiating it from when it talks about Jean Stapleton or the actress Jean Simmons, not to mention of any blue jean pants or skirts. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sandra > Streeter via Jfw > Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2015 8:54 PM > To: [email protected] > Cc: Sandra Streeter > Subject: language question > > Hi, all: > > Is there a way to get JAWS to replicate the French soft J sound, as in > "Jean Valjean"?
