Tom: I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but one of the reading schemes, Jaws Key plus Alt plus S, will cause text with initial capital letters to be read with the word "CAP." Something in all capital letters will be preceded by "ALL CAPS." It is the proof reading scheme. Of course it also identifies bold, italics, and so on, but that may not bother you. In the alternative, you can adapt or modify that scheme (or another one) to give you the capitalization read out you are looking for. ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 1:49 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: caps Tom, I don't think JAWS provides the solution you seek, which I understand to be that you want a signal when text appears in lower case. If I understand the problem correctly, an idea occurs to me. At the point where you've just about finished writing a piece of code, or whatever, could you copy the work into a word processor, select the entire text and click on the control that reverses lower and upper case text? Then you could use the JAWS punctuation setting to alert you to any accidental instances of upper case letters. Change them to small case, then reselect the entire text, reverse the operation to make the passage all upper case, convert to non-word processor text and copy back into your original file. ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bissett, Tom Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 2:17 PM To: 'jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: caps I am trying to figure out how to better control my caps settings. In the adjust jaws dialogue there are two settings capitalization ignore and caps indicate on character / word / line. These seem to be independent of each other. Can some one explain how all this works. I am sure it should be obvious but I am missing something. I work mostly on the mainframe where most things are in uppercase so I want that to sound normal while I need to know if i am inadvertently in lowercase because that can be a problem.
