Personally, I like how the previous versions handeled the alternate voice.
You could set the alternate voice to use different language, but in 11 it's
difficuld if not impossible
If you set the alternate voice in jaws settings just press insert+alt+down
arrow.
To set it up, here is how from the jaws help.
JAWS can immediately switch from one synthesizer, for example, Eloquence
Software, to another, such as SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct, when using
the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW). While the default Eloquence voice
may be useful for reading and navigating short text such as prior or next
line, sentence, or paragraph, it may not be the preferred voice for longer
passages of text. The SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct voice chosen remains
active during the Say All even as you fast forward, rewind, speed up, or
slow down. However, when you stop the Say All, the Eloquence voice returns.
Use the following controls in the Say All group to set preferences for how
the Say All command works.
Speech Synthesizer
Use this combo box to select the synthesizer used for Say All. Select either
Default, SAPI 5, or RealSpeak Solo Direct. When using Default, all other
controls in the Say All group are unavailable. Also, note that RealSpeak
Solo Direct is only available if you have downloaded and installed a
RealSpeak Solo Direct voice.
If the Say All synthesizer is Default, then either SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo
Direct will be used for an Alternate Say All (ALT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW). If
either SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct is selected, the Default synthesizer
is used for Alternate Say All.
Rate
Use this slider to select a comfortable speech rate for the Say All voice.
PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP change the rate of speech by larger increments, while
the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys make more gradual changes.
Punctuation
Use this list to set the punctuation level used by JAWS when the Say All
voice speaks. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to select a punctuation level.
The options available are None, Some, Most, which is the default, and All.
Person
The Person combo box lets you to select which SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo
Direct synthesizer voice to use for Say All.
Pitch
The Pitch slider allows you to adjust the pitch for the currently selected
voice. Note that some SAPI5 and RealSpeak Solo Direct synthesizers do not
support pitch change like Eloquence and some other hardware and software
synthesizers.
Volume
Use the slider to increase or decrease the Say All speech volume. The DOWN
ARROW , LEFT ARROW, and PAGE DOWN keys decrease volume, and the UP ARROW,
RIGHT ARROW, and PAGE UP keys increase volume.
OK
This button saves any changes made and then closes the Voice Adjustment
dialog box. This button is not available when changes are made to any
factory default voice profile template. You must use the Save As button to
save any changes made to a factory template.
Save As
Choose this button to save your current voice settings as part of a voice
profile. Type a name for your voice profile or select an existing profile
from the list. If you select an existing profile, that profile's individual
voice settings will be overwritten by the new settings when you choose OK.
Apply
Use this button to apply and save any changes made to the voice profile
settings without exiting the Voice Adjustment dialog box.
Cancel
When you select this button, any changes you have made are discarded, and
the Voice Adjustment dialog box closes. ----- Original Message -----
