I have literally spent a couple of hours trying to find the right place to
follow the directions to make the capital letters preceded by the word cap.
I listened to the Daisy training book, then I went over the parts of it in
print and it says to use insert F2 and then choose configuration manager.
But in Jaws 14, at least the one I am using, there is no configuration
manager listed. So then I went through every single aspect of all the Jaws
menus and could not find configuration manager or sound manager or anything
except Voice adjustment. I chose voices and set up a profile but can't find
any place to do anything about caps.
I generally consider myself good at following directions but it is really
frustrating when the very first instruction is impossible to follow.
I also went through the help topics and could find nothing about
configuration manager. I assume that the Daisy book is from a previous
version of Jaws but I want to use it for Jaws 14.
You said this solved your problem with the caps announcement. Could you
please give me some written directions for reaching the proper place to make
the changes.
Actually, I think Jaws 14 should have having the caps spoken as one of the
regular choices like they used to when you could adjust the amount of pitch
change for capitals. Surely most people want to know capital letters for
editing purposes.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same question about getting Vocalizer to indicate caps. Here is
the reply I used to fix that issue. Works like a charm, BTW.

The Vocalizer voices, just like the RealSpeak Solo Direct voices are
incapable of indicating capitalization using a raised pitch. Instead, you
will need to have capital letters preceded with "Cap". This has to be
accomplished using the JAWS Speech and Sound Scheme settings.
Freedom Scientific has a DAISY Training Book, which uses this specific
example in their course material.

I have been using a combo of Tom and Jill and mostly I think I like them. I
still hear my Eloquence guy for start menu, sort of like keeping in touch
with an old friend.
The main thing I don't like about the Vocalizer is no recognition of capital
letters. Can someone tell me how to make them do this when going letter by
letter? I know they can't do pitch changes but I thought that there was
some way to make them say capital. Or did I just dream this?
The other problem which is surmountable is that they mispronounce many
words. Or maybe it is just that I previously taught Eloquence to pronounce
words that Vocalizer can't access. But with the Dictionary manager I will
teach them how to talk.

Hello all , after down loading jaws 14 I went ahead and tried a couple of
the new vocalizer voices for jaws, and I must say not bad. After using them
for a hour or so I must admit that I went back to eloquence.
