Re: [orca-list] Espeak voice variations are not displayed in Orca preferences dialog.

I like the capital clicks in Emacspeak.  I do lots of authoring of text so,
it's handy for making sure my capitalization is spot on.  I didn't know you
could get that feature in other a11y packages.

Hi Kyle,

Yeah, I tried the capital click setting in Speech Dispatcher but didn't like
it. There are times I would want it on, such as editing code, and others
when I want it off like reading a scanned book.
Unfortunately, Speech Dispatcher doesn't give a person a quick and easy way
to turn it on/off at will. Although, it does come in handy for editing code
so the jury is still out on that feature.
