Re: NVDA announcing Capital letters

Hi Don If in the Voice Settings dialog (NVDA+Ctrl+v),you set Uppercase pitch change to 0, Say Cap unchecked and Beep before Capitals unchecked you say NVDA says "Capital" before capital letters but if you check the "say Cap" checkbox, it only says "Cap", is that correct?
Does the Code Factory addon have any adjustable properties available via the Preferences sub-menu (NVDA+n p) or in the catagories list of the Settings dialog (NVDA+n p s)? I'm asking these questions because I think it's the Code Factory addon that is responsible for it saying "Capital" and I wondered if there were any adjustable properties governing this behaviour.
Cheers Chris

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.
