Hello Samuel et al: The changes in the debian espeakup package of November 8 breaks speakup's character case handling. Specifically it says the word string 'capital' before each uppercase character. I imagine it does the equivolent for other languages as well. Speakup has always handled character shift changes itself because of the many ways different blinks like to have the change handled. I am not sure what exactly you were trying to fix with that change because it isn't clear to me from the code. My guess is to get correct pronunciation of individual characters in various languages. If so, then that is why I set-up the character array so that characters could not only be spoken correctly but could be spoken as the end user wishes. If that wasn't the reason then please enlighten me. It is very frustrating to use currently.
