Hi Samson,
I am rusty with using JAWS 12 but here is a little more detail on how I
got the tone added to the classic scheme with Real Speak voices.
I went to the settings center. I then went to I believe speech and
sound schemes. I then found that I was s=running the classic scheme and tabbed
to the edit button. I pressed that then was given several tabs starting on
general. I went to the misalanious tab and in there found the setting to use a
tone rather then pitch.
Hope this helps.
