Hi Anne, Thank you very much for your help. I'll follow your instructions and hopefully my access to French literature will be open again. Very best wishes for a happy new year 2013.
Hatch. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anne Robertson To: Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2013 12:38 PM Subject: Re: Using a second language on the Mac Hello Hatch, If all you want to do is be able to read in French, you just need to download one of the French voices that are available free with OS x. You have a choice of Virginie, Audrey, Thomas and Sébastien. To get them, you open VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8) and go to the Speech category. Select the Voices tab, then navigate right as far as Voice, then down to the Default voice pop up button. Press VO-Space and go down to Customize … and press Return. Type the word "French" into the search field then go right to the table. You'll find the French voices at the top of the list. Interact with the table and press VO-space on the voice you want to download. Click OK and the voice will be downloaded. You can then select your French voice using VO-Cmd-Arrow keys whenever you like.
