Thank you! Worked quite well. For me, the pitch change would be OK, but having capital letters preceded by the word, "cap," leaves me with no doubt which is upper or lower case. This list is wonderful! BTW, I slightly modified my steps by typing in the word, "cap," and asking Jaws to say that word to indicate capital letter Jim Marks -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Open the Settings Center with, Jaws / Insert key + 6, on the number row, & press, control, shift + D, to open Settings Center default all applications 2. Arrow down to Speech & Sound Schemes, right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Modify Schemes...., & press the spacebar to open. Don't press enter here! Pressing enter will close the Settings Center. Also make note of what scheme is highlighted as the default scheme. 4. Tab to, edit selected scheme button, & press the spacebar. 5. You should be on the, General Page / tab so, control + tab to the Misc. page / tab, & tab 1 time into the list of options. Arrow down to, Cap Speak text Using SingleCapVoice, tab 1 time to a list of choices, arrow up / down to, Speak Item checked. Now you'll have to choose what you want to do, modify, save, create new.... by tabbing through the dialogues & making your choices. It might take some experimentation because you'll need to Apply / Okay a few times in order to make this the default or whatever you choose to do with this altered / changed scheme. I'm sorry I can't make these steps more complete, but my personal choices could be different than your own, so that's why I said it will take some experimentation. HTH Take care.

Is there a way to do what the user wants then, because I would like to know how you do what the user wants. David Moore -----Original Message----- From: Mike B.

Your Settings Center steps won't work because that setting is for Indicating Caps when in say all. The other way mentioned was to change the upper case pitch. That will only make Jaws report capital letters at the same pitch as it does for lower case letters. Again, he wants Jaws to report capital letterrs by Jaws saying Cap J, rather than reporting a capital via a different pitch. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

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.

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!
