Hi Alan,
 
You have to modify a speech and sound scheme to make Jaws report, Cap or Capital, on a capital letter.  Below are 2 sets of steps if you want to try them.  Step #2 is the easiest.
 
#1:

1. Open the Settings Center with, Jaws / Insert key + 6, on the number row,
& press, control, shift + D, to open Settings Center default all
applications
2. Arrow down to Speech & Sound Schemes, right arrow to open.
3. Arrow down to, Modify Schemes...., & press the spacebar to open.  Don't
press enter here!  Pressing enter will close the Settings Center.  Also make
note of what scheme is highlighted as the default scheme.
4. Tab to, edit selected scheme button, & press the spacebar.
5. You should be on the, General Page / tab so, control + tab to the Misc. page / tab, & tab 1 time into the list of options.
 Arrow down to, Cap             Speak text           Using SingleCapVoice
tab 1 time to a list of choices, arrow up / down to, Speak Item checked.
6. Tab 1 time to, select voice alias button, and press the spacebar to open this list of voice options to speak, Cap, for capitol letters.  Tab to, Okay
press the spacebar, tab to, Text edit and Type in the word, Cap, or whatever you want spoken for capitol letters, and tab to, Okay, and press the spacebar. 
7. Tab to, save selected scheme button, and press the spacebar.  Tab to, Okay, press the spacebar, tab to, Okay and press enter to save and close.
8. Unload Jaws and reload Jaws for the change to take affect.

One way is to switch the speech scheme.  If you switch to proof reading (attributes) you will hear "cap" instead of the pitch increase.
The down side is that you also get attribute changes; however, you get a voice change, not announcement of "bold" "underline" and so on.
One could modify that scheme so it just says cap, but I've never taken the time to do that.

So, is there an equivalent command in jaws or is the pitch change the only
way? I like the way my iPhone handles this by announcing a capital letter.

Hi Dave,
NVDA has two options for differentiating between lower and upper case.
You can either have the voice change pitch, or you can have a beep. Or
you can have both.
Once you've selected that option, you can simply arrow to the letter and
it will do its thing.
Not sure how it works in braille, if at all. But again, beeps should
work in that case as well.
Hope that helps.

Re: email question

Hi all,

Yes, Siri is notorious for this kind of debacle. The messages that make me laugh the most are the ones where the person dictating doesn't voice any punctuation marks and you get a long email where in order to read it you have to take a deep breath, and then, start speaking and hope that your air lasts through the whole message. At the end you can actually hear yourself gasping for breath. It's a complete hoot!

I have a Book Port Plus connected to my wifi.  I am trying to access podcasts from the BPP’s list of podcasts.  The unit will update the episodes list on some of the feeds, but either tells me that download failed, or the file type of the episode is unsupported.  Have any of you ever gotten to listen to podcasts on the BPP.  If so, how long has it been since you did so?  I’m trying to figure out if something is wrong with the unit, or if its technology is not compatible with modern podcast feeds.

Hi Dave,
NVDA has two options for differentiating between lower and upper case.
You can either have the voice change pitch, or you can have a beep. Or
you can have both.
Once you've selected that option, you can simply arrow to the letter and
it will do its thing.
Not sure how it works in braille, if at all. But again, beeps should
work in that case as well.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Damien.

Hi Bob,

To get to the Speech settings / properties page quickly press, Insert / NVDA Key, Control + V.

Now tab many times to find the options for how you want the capital letters reported.

Ask the group owner or moderator to send you a bounce probe message, then once you get it, make sure to activate the link at the end.  It's worth a shot.

If that doesn't do it, I'd check with your e-mail service provider to see if they're blocking whatever the domain name groups.google.com.  This would be very odd, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Re: ram and SSD not detected by new laptop

enes sarıbaş
 

Hi Again,

Removed SSD, and each ram stick one by one,. Still the same issue. One interesting issue is that even if I power cycle the laptop,  it will spin up fans randomly on its own sometimes. I held down the power button for 30 seconds a couple times to cut power in hopes it would solve the problem, burt it does not. Looks like a service call is in order. I sincerely hope   its not a dead machine and ends up costing me.

It may not, it depends on the system. I used to have a computer where if i would plug in a particular usb drive it just would not boot.


I assume I am not able to insert the ram incorrectly?

Correct, ram only goes in one way. If you feel along the long edge one side will have a little slot close to the center. This slot has to aline with a notch on the ram socket.


The interesting thing is that  the ram  was detected normally as a
single stick. I hope kingston will send me a replacement if it is defective.


They should. Also, try plugging both sticks in but one at a time. Based on what you've said so far I think it'll power on with one in but not the other.



HTH.

Hello.

Pull one of the ram sticks and power on. If you get the same result, swap them out and do it again. I'm suspicious you have a bad ram stick.

If it still doesn't power on properly pull the ssd and try again. I assume this computer came with a ram and memory config. It might be worth restoring it to that config and then swap out the hardware piece by piece, doing the power up test after each piece to see what's bad.

An update. So I swapped out the ram sticks, and both firmly inserted. The SSD also fit snugly. However when I plugged in a flash drive to install windows, and powered on the pc,  the fans spun up at max settings for a while, then stopped. When they spun up again, the logo briefly appeared, however, after I powered up the computer again, now the system will not display anything on screen. The fans spin up, then spin down periodically until I turn it off. Does anyone know of a solution for this? None of the indicators on the computer light up.

Hi all,

So when purchasing a laptop I  opted to buy my own ram modules and SSD. However, as I was inserting the modules for the first time, I  spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the correct direction to insert them. However, when I did insert one, it firmly clicked into place. The second one only inserted backside up in the same position. The clips  latched on and hold it, but it seems to buldge a bit, and the clips didn't audibly click. When inserting the SSD, the  SSD slot was covered by a piece of plastic wrap. I unscrewed the screw, inserted into the MDOC2 slot and screwed the screw back on. However, the SSd was loose, and the plastic came loose. My question is,  what did I do wrong exactly with the SSD? And is that plastic wrap needed? I inserted it again, and it seems to be ok,  but the dirve isn't detected by bios iether. And only one of the ram modules is detected. What can I do about this? Do I pull the clips apart and press downward to seat the memory module. I assume it was inserted correctly, as it isn't possible apparently to insert ram the wrong way.
