Brian,
thanks so much. Your directions worked perfectly. I guess I just don't do
as much in-depth exploring of JAWS options as I should.
Thanks again.
Lisa

Hello Lisa,
I think that what you are looking for is in the Speech and Sound Manager
under the miscellaneous page tab. The speech and sound manager can be
opened from the settings menu in the configuration manager. Pick the
classic scheme in the list of schemes and tab to the edit button. Press
enter on the button. Move to the miscellaneous page using CTRL+tab key.
In the list you will hear "all caps speak text using all caps voice." Use
tab to the radio buttons and the second one should be the checked one.
(speak text with this item using voice). Move back to the list and use
down arrow key. You will hear "cap speak text using single cap voice>"
Tab to the radio buttons. If the top button is checked you will hear cap
announced the way you do now. Use down arrow to the second radio button,
(speak text with this item using voice). Press enter on the OK button a
time or two and you will be told that you haven't saved changes. Answer
yes to saving the change.
Hopefully, this is what you are needing.
Take care.

Hi, Brian.
I can make those changes, but JAWS is still saying Cap before each
instance of upper case letters.
I know there's an upper case voice because if I go into the voices
submenu, there's a control to specify the pitch of the upper case voice.
I just can't get JAWS 10 to read using this voice rather than saying cap.

Hello Lisa,
If you open configuration manager and go into the text processing
choices, the "capitalization indication" list gives four choices. The
choices are for indication by character/spell, character and word,
character word and line or none. If you pick the fourth one in the
list, (which is for indication by character, word and line), and save
changes to the configuration, then JAWS will read lines in the upper
case voice when you move line by line in your document. If you want
changes to apply in all programs then load the default configuration
manager by using CTRL+shift+D when you open a given application's
configuration manager.
Open configuration manager using JAWS key 6. Use Alt+S for settings
menu. Text processing is a menu choice in that menu.
The amount of pitch difference between the normal and capitalization
indication can be changed in the global voices dialog box in the JAWS
window. It is set at 20% higher than pitch for the normal voice. If
you increase percentage then the difference in pitch between the PC
cursor voice and the capitalization indication voice increases.
Take care.

In the configuration manager, text processing, if enhanced editing is
turned on, try turning it off.
I don't know what wonderful thing enhanced editing is supposed to do,
but it has caused JAWS not only not to change pitch for capitalization
but also to prevent repeating of received text in Messenger.

All,
I'm trying to configure Eloquence and JAWS 10.1154 so that it will
indicate upper case letters with a high pitched voice rather than
saying "cap" whenever I'm reading or typing.
I've had it configured this way for O.e. for several versions of JAWS,
and I've gotten JAWS 8 to say upper case letters with the higher pitch
in MS Word as well.
I tried comparing the JAWS 10.X settings I have in OE with those in
Word, but so far, I haven't found any that achieve the results.
I'm sure I'm over looking something very simple. Any help would be
most appreciated.
