Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] How to have JAWS indicate a capital letter
Dear Don and others,
I was able to add a tone to indicate a capital letter with the REal Speak
voices. It was as Don said in Settings Sound Schemes I had to press edit
then go to the Mis tab. I did not see a option for it to say Cap only to
add a tone . This is very helpful
Thanks Don and others for the tips!

The Real Speak Solo Direct voices are not capable of indicating a capital
letter by raising the pitch. To configure it to indicate capital letters
by preceding the letter with the word "Cap", you must set this up in the
JAWS Speech and Sounds Manager. Freedom Scientific has a tutorial which
walks you through this configuration in their tutorial about that topic.
Go to the JAWS Training under JAWS (Insert for desktop layout; CapsLock
for laptop) + j > Help > Training.

Hello list,
I am new to this list and have my first question. At work I use JAWS 12
and prefer the voices of Tom and Jill. I need to know when a letter is
capitalized. I searched the settings and could not find a place to tell
JAWS to say "cap" or play a tone. Can someone point me in the right
direction?
Thanks very much

My version of e-book? Just take whatever file format given and convert
it to a plain text file, and put it on my braille display device. Easy,
fast and the files take up little space. I'm seeing a lot more formats
around nowadays and I have no idea about some of them. You can get
converters for .lit files and make them into word documents, plain text
or probably html if you want. PDF files and adobe in general I want
little to do with so I'm actually looking for a standalone converter
that will render the files as plaintext without me even having to open
Adobe reader.

Unfortunately, there is no one definition for e-books. It depends on
the
provider of the book. For example, Overdrive's e-books are in some
type of
PDF that is not accessible. I have not had time to play with them to
figure
out if you can convert the file into something that can be read by
JAWS or
other A.T. I use the Overdrive's e-audio books that can be in MP3 or
the
Apple iProduct format.
I would love to hear from others on the list on this topic.

I've noticed a lot of books are now available in EBook format What
kind of
format is that?
Are they readable with a screen reader like JAWS?
Blessings,
