Re: [orca-list] espeak-ng and capitalization?

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

I am pretty sure this is a bug in espeak-ng. I already have the orca 
capitalization style set to none. It behaves as expected with voxim and 
rhvoice. In some previous version of orca, this bug in espeak-ng was 
exposed and it came up on this list. If you use the version of orca in 
Ubuntu disco, it works as expected. If you upgrade to eoan or focal, it 
does not work as expected. But when this came up earlier on this list, 
it was said to be a bug in espeak-ng. I can believe that because it 
doesn't happen with other speech engines.


This is one of the things that puzzles me though. Isn't everybody being 
driven crazy by this bug? Maybe the espeak-ng developers don't use orca.
