Re: [orca-list] Orca sounds weird after reading a capitalized letter

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi again.

I took a look into this issue just now and filed a bug against
speech-dispatcher as Orca is setting the pitch and speech-dispatcher is
claiming it is set to the same value as the non-weird utterances. Why it
sounds weird, I couldn't tell you.
