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.
