Hello list,
I am new to this list and have my first question. At work I use JAWS
12 and prefer the voices of Tom and Jill. I need to know when a letter is
capitalized. I searched the settings and could not find a place to tell JAWS
to say "cap" or play a tone. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much
Eric Caron
