Re: NVDA announcing Capital letters

I think I started this thread and here is what I have figured out. When
using the code Factory vocalizer addon for NVDA if you have the voice
settings to not say cap and also have the beep for caps off on my system
NVDA says the word capital before each uppercase letter. To make this
better in my opinion I now have my voice settings set with a pitch
change on caps on zero and I have say cap on capitaleters turned on. So
now on capital letters NVDA says cap before each uppercase letter and I
hear no pitch change on capitals. This makes the verbage on capital
letters a little better.
I did also make it stop saying capital by adding each uppercase letter
to the default dictionary replacing each with a lowercase letter and
this resulted in only hearing a pitch change on uppercase letters but
for some reason this pitch only for uppercase letters was inconsistent
with some uppercase letters being typed not having a raised pitch. I
removed all the enteries I made to the default dictionary.

Interesting, I’ll test it again, but when I’ve tried it before, I didn’t
get beeps when I set capitals to beep.

I just tested this.  It comes through the sound card.

I think this is because the beep option unhelpfully comes through
the PC speaker, instead of your soundcard.

Some PCs don’t have a PC speaker any more, so the beep sound won’t
work for them.

I think this should be changed in NVDA.

Hello,

I have the beep option checked but I get no sound when I type.

 I try to use the tone option, but   can’t seem to choose the
  right numbers so I can use that method. I don’t hear   any change
in tone when caps are typed.

I do not like the word caps spoken as I can’t hear what I am
typing.    What am I missing?
