Homework Help Forum: technology for Spanish?

Posted by Claire on Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 3:30am.

Could you give me a link where I can try and download accent marks? I have tried going on some sites and I can't download accent marks.

  I tried doing alt with 164, etc. But with a screen reader, alt and then 1 has another function so i can't do an accent.

  A week or more ago, Mathmate posted this for French, so there has to be one for Spanish, too. "You may also want to consider adding a keyboard language to which you can switch when you type in French texts. See for example: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177561 " On your regular keyboard, making sure you have a number pad at the right (you can't do the following with the numbers across the top of the regular keyboard), try this if you have a PC: Hold down the Alt key as you press 0225 on the number pad = á (accent over lower-case "a"). Here are some other codes. Just remember to hold down the Alt key as you press these numbers on the number pad: 0233 = é 0237 = í 0241 = ñ 0243 = ó 0252 = ü 0250 = ú 0192 = À 0201 = É 0205 = Í 0209 = Ñ 0211 = Ó 0220 = Ü 0218 = Ú 0191 = ¿ 0161 = ¡ You can see all the codes in here: http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html Pay attention only to the "Char" and "Code" columns; ignore the symbols & and # and ; -- know that you are only going to use Alt and 0 and the three-number codes for the accented letters and other symbols you want.

  If you are on a PC, with windows, go to control panel, regional and languages, keyboard, add language.

  ñ % é Yes!! Yes! Yes!!!! I've got it working! Thank you so much, I changed the keyboard and then did alt and it worked. I'll be really happy if the screen reader can read in Spanish, too!

  No, it can't read Spanish... I will still have to listen letter for letter.
