  2. NVDA announcing Capital letters

Re: NVDA announcing Capital letters

Again this is happening on a Win 10 system running NVDA and the code
Gactory vocalizer/eloquince addon for NVDA. Both Win 10 and NVDA are
the latest released versions.
I have the Code Factory Vocalizer selected as my speech syn and Nathon
High quality as my voice. I have the voice settings set as follows
pitch change on capitals set at zero
Say cap for capital letters checked
beep for capital letters unchecked.
This gives the result of the word cap being spoken before each uppercase
letter. There is no pitch change on uppercase letters
With the say cap on capitals unchecked as I had it before NVDA says the
whole word capital before each uppercase letter.
So having the say cap option checked and the pitch change set to zero I
get less verbage on uppercase 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

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.
