We have recently encountered an issue with the Orpheus synthesiser causing capitalised characters not to be announced.
If you encounter issues with capitalised text not being echoed when typing or announced when reading while using the Orpheus synthesiser, please disable the 'Indicate capitals with a change in pitch' feature within the SuperNova / Dolphin ScreenReader control panel.
Steps on how to disable 'Indicate capitals with a change in pitch:
- Press LEFT CONTROL + SPACEBAR. This will open the SuperNova control panel.
- Press ALT + S. This will open the "Speech" menu.
- DOWN ARROW to "Voice Preferences" and press ENTER. This will open the "Voice Preferences" dialog box.
- TAB to the "Increase voice pitch for spelt capitals" check box and press SPACEBAR to uncheck this item.
- TAB to the "OK" button and press SPACEBAR. This will confirm your changes and close the dialog box.
