Another idea is using a higher pitch for capital letters, like Jaws
does it for a long time. Using a higher pitch it does not interrupt
the reading like the word Cap does it.

In fact it doesn't matter witch method one used, the important thing
is to have such a feature in a screen reader, especially for users who
don't have a braille display.
