Hi Samson,
I am rusty with using JAWS 12 but here is a little more detail on how I
got the tone added to the classic scheme with Real Speak voices.
I went to the settings center. I then went to I believe speech and sound
schemes. I then found that I was s=running the classic scheme and tabbed
to the edit button. I pressed that then was given several tabs starting
on general. I went to the misalanious tab and in there found the setting
to use a tone rather then pitch.
Hope this helps.

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?
