The Real Speak Solo Direct voices are not capable of indicating a
capital letter by raising the pitch. To configure it to indicate
capital letters by preceding the letter with the word "Cap", you must
set this up in the JAWS Speech and Sounds Manager. Freedom Scientific
has a tutorial which walks you through this configuration in their
tutorial about that topic. Go to the JAWS Training under JAWS (Insert
for desktop layout; CapsLock for laptop) + j > Help > Training.

am working on things that matter.

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

My version of e-book? Just take whatever file format given and convert it to a
plain text file, and put it on my braille display device. Easy, fast and the
files take up little space. I'm seeing a lot more formats around nowadays and I
have no idea about some of them. You can get converters for .lit files and make
them into word documents, plain text or probably html if you want. PDF files
and adobe in general I want little to do with so I'm actually looking for a
standalone converter that will render the files as plaintext without me even
having to open Adobe reader.

Unfortunately, there is no one definition for e-books. It depends on the
provider of the book. For example, Overdrive's e-books are in some type of
PDF that is not accessible. I have not had time to play with them to figure
out if you can convert the file into something that can be read by JAWS or
other A.T. I use the Overdrive's e-audio books that can be in MP3 or the
Apple iProduct format.
I would love to hear from others on the list on this topic.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] EBook Format
I've noticed a lot of books are now available in EBook format What kind of
format is that?
Are they readable with a screen reader like JAWS?
Blessings,
Tom
