[JAWSLite] Re: jaws dictionary and sylable emphasis

I don't think capitalization matters for emphasis. It makes jaws pronounce things as if they're seperate words though. The following 2 lines sound exactly the same for my installation of jaws: 

sakHotMe
sak hot me
As I mentioned, this is closer than sakhotme, which jaws says almost like sackhim. But it's still not right.

Sometimes uppercasing the first syllable that you want emphasized works,
like SakHahtmi.
Note: I had to change the "me" to "mi" for that sound.

Subject: [JAWSLite] jaws dictionary and sylable emphasis


Is there a way to have jaws emphasize  a sylable when adding a word to
the
dictionary?

Say I have a 3 sylable word and I want the emphasis on the second
sylable.
Can I somehow tell jaws to emphasize the 2nd sylable? Actually, the word
I'm
dealing with is a name, Sakhatme. It should be said 'sack hot me" with
the
emphasis on the second sylable. Like 'sack HOT! me".

Just telling jaws to pronounce the word as if it's "sack hot me" helped.
But
it would be nice to get it right so that I will start saying it right
myself. Out of force of habit, I sometimes mispronouce this name when
I'm
talking to the actual person.
