Dear Don and others,
I was able to add a tone to indicate a capital letter with the REal
Speak voices. It was as Don said in Settings Sound Schemes I had to press edit
then go to the Mis tab. I did not see a option for it to say Cap only to add a
tone . This is very helpful
Thanks Don and others for the tips!
