Hello everyone,

a quick fix might be lowering the case of the character in Orca SD
backend before sending it to Speech Dispatcher.  It will disable
synthesizer controlled capital verbalization, but this is probably not a
serious limitation for now, since Orca controlled pitch signalization
seems to be prefered.  I'm not aware of other problems this might cause.
 A better solution may be found later, but it should help for now.

Something like:
   self._send_command(self._client.char, character.lower())
instead of:
   self._send_command(self._client.char, character)
in the speakCharacter() method of speechdispatcherfactory.py should do
the trick.

Unfortunately I will have very limited chances to get to sending a patch
this week, so if anyone wants to give it a try, he is welcome.

Thanks everyone for reporting the problem.

Best regards, Tomas.
