In Windows, click Tools in the upper menu bar and then click Options…
In Mac, click eViewer and then click Preferences.
The Options screen will appear with tabs for Name Lists, Media (Windows only), Spectrogram and Quiz
Names: Include Aliases in English name list: Check this box if you want to see alias names in the drop-down list of species. For example, Cardinal would appear as an alias for Northern Cardinal. This helps you find the correct item when typing a name rather than scrolling to it.
If the list is sorted taxonomically, the accepted name displays first and the aliases appear indented just below the accepted name. If the list is sorted alphabetically by first or last name, the aliases are not indented. (Aliases appear only if you have selected English as the language.)
Select Language: This determines the language to be used to display the bird’s common name in the list box at the top of the eField Guide and at the top left of the species display. This does not affect the Identification Wizard or the Quizzes, which always display in English. Click the small blue arrow to select English, French, German, or Spanish.
Media: Click the small icon with the three dots and you can search other available drives for photos, sounds, etc if they can’t be located on the drive selected at installation time. This option is extremely helpful if you have more than one CD drive and use them interchangeably. However, this option can slow the application down in the process of finding media.
Spectrogram: Click this tab if you already have the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Raven Lite installed on your computer. Enter the path to RavenLiteLauncher.exe in the box. Click the small icon with the three dots to locate it yourself on your hard drive. This can be installed separately from the Thayer Birding DVD disc.
Quiz: This tab lets you control if a quiz should restart. It also lets you control the Quiz Hall of Fame. You can even change the sound when someone qualifies for the Hall of Fame.
Click OK when you are finished making changes.
