Hi
Goodness, a lot happened while I was asleep, some good things and some
not so good things.
Using the latest build which is 19.
1. Using keyboards for the UK and Australia, the three dictation task
echo settings (no voice, high voice and low voice) all do exactly what
they should be doing. Tested with "I think I'm coming down with
something".
2. Lesson 66, task 11, The mum said etc.
Correctly you tell the student to capitalise the first word inside the
quote if it forms a sentence. But then when you give the example, you do
not indicate that the student should use a capital. You say that the
student should type "the mum said, then type a comma, then a quotation
mark" etc, but then at least the word "please" should be spoken in a
higher pitch tone to indicate a capital letter. We are just not clear
enough at the moment that the word Please should be capitalised. This
is really important as many blind people who read Braille in the UK do
not know about capitals because we don't use capitals!
3. Still in the same lesson, even though UK and Australian keyboard
layouts are selected, you say that the user should type a period rather
than full-stop.
4. There are still problems with jaws 10. If you want me to document
those separately I will do, but I suggest we test these current problems
and leave those. Let me know if you want to hear about them.
