Troy,
I don't think JAWS has any way of doing something like this; in general
it builds on what the application can do, so I suspect that might be the
first area to investigate. If the word processor your company works for
has a Find utility, maybe you could explore that. In Microsoft Word, for
instance, you can get it to look for two spaces followed by a lower case
letter, and so long as you have put two spaces between sentences, this
should find the beginnings of sentences that need changing. Similarly,
searching on an Enter keypress followed by a lower case character will
find the beginnings of paragraphs that need changing.

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that the company that I work for has their
own
word processor and unless there are some adjustments that I can make to
the
spellchecker that I'm not aware of it doesn't check for capitalization.

Have you tried spell check? It also checks for capitalizing errors.

Subject: scanning a document for capitalization with Jaws
Hi All,
Is there any quick way of scanning something with Jaws to check the
capitalization and make sure it is correct? I work as a medical
transcriptionist and the first letter of every sentence is supposed to
be
automatically capitalized for us but sometimes it doesn't happen for
some
reason, and also sometimes words will get capitalized that I don't want
capitalized.
Right now the only way that I'm able to check this is to read the whole
report after I finish typing it, but some of these reports are rather
long
and it takes away from my work time having to read everything when the
only
thing that is usually wrong are either missing capitals where there
should
be one or occasionally a capitalized letter that shouldn't be
capitalized.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Troy
