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



I asked about this about a year ago and Joanmarie pointed me to a thread where she discussed this with the espek-ng developers. I guess I'll have to find the espeak-ng developers list and ask there.

This seems like something deliberate, though, and not a bug. I haven't been able to make much sense of how to change things in espeak or espeak-ng, like editing a language. Surely there would be a way to change it. There's nothing in the speech dispatcher espeak-ng module's config file.

Hi Ted.

Testing with a little more attention I realized that the behavior in my environment is exactly as described by you.

Thanks.

The espeak-ng capitalization bug doesn't bother me, but I don't have text in all caps too often.

The behavior on my Arch system with Orca and espeak-ng is to say capitalized letters only when using the left and right arrows to navigate by character. When I navigate by line and word, it does not speak capitals. My Debian Buster system uses the old espeak and does not do that. I have Orca set to none for capitalization for both.

What does grate on my nerves is a setting for the uppercase pitch that is too high with all caps, like in titles and the example of bash files you gave. I've had to tweak that setting down in pitch to a point it is barely noticeable, then rely on the Orca key I've set to cycle through the capitalization settings to be sure of upper and lower case. Because of that, I kind of like the bug.
