As someone else said, be certain you are in one of the "Classic" sound schemes. You get there with JAWS key plus Alt plus s. Then, it may be a question of when you want to hear the raised pitch. In fact, this happened to me when I first installed JAWS 16. I typically like to hear capitals when I read a line, sentence, word, or character. I think the default may be just to enunciate capitals by characters. So, if you read a line, you will hear no capitals, but if you cursor over, character-by-character, you will hear capitals. You can change this in the Settings Center or, perhaps to check and make a temporary adjustment, with JAWS key plus V. Then type "Capitals" in the search box.

Subject: Re: Jaws 16 advantages J: The ability to have JAWS pronounce capital letters at a higher pitch than lower case letters, has always been a feature of JAWS for Windows. As a previous list member pointed out, it was not enabled or set up correctly in your previously installed version of JAWS on your computer.
