Hi,
to get JAWS to say cap before a capital letter, press insert+6 on the
numbers row, and type caps in the search edit box. down arrow once and there
will be a check box that says say caps unchecked. Just press the space bar
to check that, and tab to Okay and press enter. You are doing this in the
settings center. This will work for all applications. Now, if you do not
want JAWS to change pitch for a capital letter, press insert+J to open the
JAWS menu and press enter on voice sub menu, press left arrow to open that
up, and enter on voice adjustment. Now, tab until you hear something about
changing pitch for caps and there will be a certain percentage that this is
set at. Use your arrow keys to change that percentage to 0. Then, just press
enter on okay and get out of the JAWS menu. This should give you exactly
what you want. There will be no pitch change, and JAWS will say the word cap
before an upper case letter. Let us know if this works for you.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Say Cap Instead of Pitch Change
Would someone please give me directions on how to get Jaws 17 to say caps
instead of changing pitch to indicate capital letters when moving
character-by-character? I am having more troubles hearing pitch changes, so
saying cap before a capital letter is really helpful. Thank you much in
advance for this information!
