[JAWSLite] Re: jaws dictionary and sylable emphasis

Check letter by letter what I wrote. The second syllable is emphasized, 
and I changed the spelling.

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.
