Description Parham Doustdar 2015-01-29 19:43:54 UTC 
By default, Orca changes pitch while announcing an upper-case character. However, the next character should be pronounced normally. In reality though, this doesn't happen. Below are the steps to reproduce.

1. Open GEdit.
2. Type in A (a capital A) and press enter.
3. Type in a lower case a and press enter.
4. Now, press ctrl+home to go to the top of the document. Start navigating character by character. Observe how Orca announces the word "blank" after the upper-case character, and compare that with how it says "blank" after a non-capital character.

See my comment here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688172#c4. I think it's an issue in eSpeak or speech-dispatcher.

See https://its.freebsoft.org/its/issues/31653 which I just filed. Closing this as NOTGNOME as Orca is setting the pitch and speech-dispatcher is claiming it is set accordingly.
