Steve,
Thanks for the ideas. The problem is that I want it to work with the mouse pointer too. For example, if you are in a dialog and want to examine something in the dialog that is not familiar to you with the mouse pointer, then it will alert you of capital letters. If I tie it only to situations where the cursor is active, this will not work. The problem occurs with controls in dialog boxes and the shortcut for that control is represented as a capital letter, say the first character of the name of the control. WE actually sends this to the synthesizer as a capital letter. When I hook the onSpeak event and check for length of a single character and a capital letter, both conditions are true; hence, the beep sounds. If I exclude situations where most controls have focus, this would basically have the same effect as tying to the cursor situation. Am I explaining this well enough? Do you know if there is a way to tell that the letter is a shortcut key? I don't think so.

Let's try this again. A possible solution might be to hook all of the navigation keys that involve the arrows and connect them to your cap beeper function. Presumably, the logic to beep would then trigger, and the script would otherwise act as it does now. I don't think there is currently a way to tell which Window-Eyes voice is speaking. All you can do is intercept the spoken text at various points. Best regards, Steve Stephen Clower wrote: Vic Beckley wrote: Great! The only side effect that I am aware of at this point is that you get beeps when you tab through dialog boxes. This is because of the shortcut keys on the buttons and so forth. If they show up as capital letters, the script beeps when Window-Eyes speaks them. I really don't know how to fix this at this point.

It's working fine. I'm using the free eSpeak synthesiser with one of the Mbrola voices. It's pitch change for caps doesn't really work and it is time consuming to have it pronounce cap before a letter, so the script is working wonders. Thanks for it.

Did you try the script? Is it working for you?

NVDA can do this and I use it when in that screen reader. Curtis Delzer. HS At 04:45 PM 1/13/2009, Lori wrote: Oops, thanks. Didn't know that.
