These are the versions present in Ubuntu 20.04/focal. The problem first appeared when I upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10/eoan. I still have a machine running Ubuntu 19.04/disco and it does not have the problem.

Strangely, this bug is not present in my environment. What version of speech-dispatcher are you using?

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.

Hi.

In the orca preferences screen, more specifically in the voice tab, there is the capitalization option that can help.

I set this option to none.

Anybody know the status of the bug with espeak-ng and capitalization? If I use espeak-ng with orca, instead of raising the pitch for capital leters, it says the word "capital", which is driving me crazy. How are other people dealing with this? I bought voxim but that has its own drawbacks.


This bug in espeak-ng is a huge problem for me because i do a lot of bash scripting and the standard for bash variables is to use all upper case, like environmental variables. It takes forever to find bugs if I have to listen to it saying capital before each letter in a variable name.
