Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about Vocalizer voices
You need to do a cntrol shift d before you modify the sound scheme. This wil put you in the default settings which covers most programs. Microsoft Word has it's own sound scheme so you will have to modify that as well to work in Word.

[JAWS-Users] Question about Vocalizer voices
Greetings all, Is there a way to get the vocalizer voices to change pitch for capital letters? Or is there some other way to get them to let me know that a letter is capitalized?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about Vocalizer voices
Hi Greg, The Vocalizer voices available to you at this time do not include the option for pitch change. Until that ability of pitch change in Vocalizer is available, I suggest you consider using the Speech and Sounds Manager to assign a sound for capitals instead of saying cap. You can choose to create your own sound scheme which indicates capitals by a pitch change, to announce the presence of uppercase characters, or even to play a sound for capitalized letters by creating a new scheme. To do this, perform the following: 1. Press INSERT+F2 followed by ENTER to open the Configuration Manager. 2. Press ALT+S to open the Settings menu; press M to open the Speech and Sounds Manager. 3. TAB to Create New Scheme and press ENTER. 4. Press CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to go to the Misc page of the dialog. 5. Arrow to Cap. 6. TAB once and select how you want capital letters to be indicated. The choices are to speak them using the normal voice, speak them with a voice alias, or to have JAWS play a sound when they are located. 7. TAB to the OK button and press ENTER. 8. Enter a name for the new scheme and press ENTER. 9. TAB to Save Current Scheme and press ENTER. 10. Press ALT+F4 and choose YES when asked if you want to save changes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about Vocalizer voices
Hello, I forgot to mention that I am using JAWS 14 on a windows 8 64bit laptop. I do apologize for this. I went to the settings center and found the sounds schemes in there. I then modified the classic, which is what is set as the default for windows. I changed the two caps options in the misc tab to play a sound. When I switched to my vocalizer voice profile it still did not beep or anything for caps. Do I need to do something different for JAWS14?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about Vocalizer voices
Greg, You should have the profile loaded for Vocalizer when you then go make this change. If you are having trouble getting this set up, please call support and maybe then can tandem in and help get this set up.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about Vocalizer voices
Hello, Ok I have it working sorta. It will work when I am on the desktop and ask JAWS to spell out the icon I am on. However, I cant get it to work in other programs. Do I need to set the sound scheme for each program to the one I created? If so is there a way to set it up to use the new sound scheme as the default?
