It is planned to provide speech programs for the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Please consult the Readme file for the latest information. Only one speech system will be installed with OmniPage Pro, depending on your language choice at the start of installation. If you specify a language with no speech system available, English is installed.

If you have SAPI-compliant speech systems for other languages on your computer, they will be detected and available. Their voices will be offered in the Speech Settings dialog box. Once you have associated a voice with a language, OmniPage Pro will remember this, and switch voices according to the recognition language of your document.
