Yes I use espeak. Although I would prefer the raise pitch method to
announce capitals I've used to the say cap method so it's no critical bug
for me, just would to report it.

BRLTTY is not making any filtering on the punctuation character es.  It

Nice, that's what I searched for.

And something else: is it possible to assign the function "speak inserted
