Hi Manish, I found the pitch changes very distracting but I will need to work at this again. Caps are not the only problem. How did you cope with homonyms?

Back in the day when I used to do a lot of proof reading as an editor for technical documents, I had set up pitch for caps during continuous reading and "say cap" during word by word and character navigation. I don't necessarily remember how I set it up or if this can be done with the latest versions. Also, the pitch is slightly more distinct with eloquence than with espeak where everything sounds the same to me. -Manish -----Original Message----- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Geetha Shamanna Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 1:44 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Seeking techniques for proof reading text Thank you, will try that out. That should make spotting misplaced capital letters a lot easier.

To do that, Go to JAWS > Utility Menu > configuration manager > Set Options Menu > Speech and Sound Manager > Edit Current Scheme > Misc Tab Page, there in the list select cap and then tab to the set of radio choices and select "Play Sound". The next button will allow you to select WAVE file to be played. I suggest to create a new sound scheme to be used for proof reading, you can customize many options by using this method.

While the spellcheck feature of Word tracks down most of the spelling errors and spacing inconsistencies, the biggest difficulty I encounter when proofreading with the help of a screen reader relates to tracking down inappropriate/inadvertent capitalisation. Turning on Jaws' capitalisation announcement feature can solve the problem, but this can be grating on the ears. I am yet to find a speech-based solution to this problem.

Do you use audio or Braille? I am in a situation where I need to produce perfect text. I cannot afford even a single error. I use a screen reader namely Jaws for Windows. I do most of my writing in Microsoft Word so use the spelling and grammar checker that comes with Microsoft Office. I also review my documents using speech but I am liable to miss things especially if two words sound alike.
