It is not just the alt tab, the whole keyboard switches to French. I have not

IMO, neither RealSpeak Solo nor Vocalizer were up to the standards of
Eloquence for speed. But witgh Vocalizer Expressive, the situation is now
more equal.
I also didn't like the way JAWS' Eloquence traditionally treated apostrophe
characters; (though that seems to have improved latterly).

Hi,
So are you saying that this is an issue with Microsoft's design not screen

As System Access performs flawlessly in this dialog currently. I'm just
