<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Adina,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What a great question! In my experience, I found that VoiceOver seems to recognize most languages and pronounce them correctly right out of the box. NVDA and JAWS require you to first download a specific voice for that language and to
make sure your speech synthesizer is set to Windows OneCore for NVDA or Vocalizer Expressive for JAWS. But then they all work well, as long as the page is coded with the correct <lang> tag.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, I have yet to find an online resource with multiple languages on the same page that correctly uses <p lang= or <span lang= tags to show the screen reader when to switch back and forth. It’s extremely frustrating because
it basically renders all online foreign-language teaching resources useless with a screen reader. Occasionally VoiceOver figures it out on its own, but not at all reliably.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, I’m guessing that once you get into more obscure languages (my only relevant experience here being with ancient Greek), just because something is coded correctly, that still doesn’t mean a screen reader can cope with it (i.e. there
are no ancient Greek voices to download for NVDA/JAWS and even VoiceOver throws up its tiny hands in dismay).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please keep us posted, as this is an area of great interest to me.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interested in finding out about materials and strategies for a blind student who may want to learn German. My understanding is the student uses a screen reader but we don’t know which one yet. We don’t know if they read Braille.
We don’t know what course materials the professor uses yet, but we’re trying to begin learning about what might be involved with obtaining and converting appropriate materials.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand that popular screen readers can read German. I’ve looked through athen listserv’s archives and found a few relevant posts, although I probably could have searched further. I looked on Bookshare and found 74 results came
up under foreign language learning materials in German and available in the United States.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have additional advice? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
