Hi Sugar,

Randy recommended you to turn off the JAWS Language Detection feature. This is 
one of the approaches you can use to fix this, and the one I use as a native 
Spanish speaker who prefer to read English as it is written instead of the way 
in which that language is pronounced, because as a non-native speaker it 
becomes harder to understand.
However, if you usually read content in Spanish and like to read it with 
Spanish voices, you may prefer to change the language in your document. If this 
is a Word document and you want to set the whole document in English, do the 
following:
1. Open the document.
2. Press CTRL+A to select it all. If you're using a Spanish version of Word, 
press CTRL+E instead, as CTRL+A is for the Open dialog box.
3. If you have Word 2007 or latter, press F6 to go to the status bar, then 
press RIGHT ARROW until you reach the button indicating the language; activate 
it by pressing SPACE BAR. If you removed the language indication from the 
status bar, find the Set Language button in the Review tab; in Word 2013 and 
latter there's a dropdown Language button, which opens a menu in which you have 
to choose the Set Proofing Language command. I'd tell you the access keys to 
open that dialog quickly, but I don't know the exact ones for Word English 
versions (in Spanish it is ALT followed by R, ID, D. In Word 2003 and earlier 
the status bar is only usable with JAWS Cursor, so the easiest way to set the 
language is going to the Tools menu, Language sub menu and then the Set 
Language option.
4. In the Language dialog box, set the language you want for the document, in 
this case perhaps English (u.S.) and then press ENTER.

Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws talking in spanish?

Hi

I have a folder in my documents where I save friend and family's home addresses.

For some of these addresses, Jaws will talk to me in Spanish, but just the 
numbers.

Not all of them just a few of them.

How can I correct this to where I want everything in English?

Like I said it doesn't happen to all of them just a handful.

There is speaking grace. Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your speech be always with 
grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."

~Blessings, Sugar

Go to the settings center make sure your in the default jaws  all 
applications, ctrl shift D. then type detect language and turn it off. I 
also turn off detect dialect... This should fix your issue.
