Below is an email I sent to accessibil...@apple.com. They said they could not 
reproduce the issue. I've replied with a more detailed explanation. But, in 
case they continue to have difficulties, I thought I'd check with the list to 
see if other people have this issue as well.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi,

In the Text tab of the Verbosity panel of VoiceOver Utility there is an option 
to customise how VoiceOver reads capital letters. Two of the most relevant 
options are "change pitch" and "speak cap". However, when change pitch is 
selected, VoiceOver will read a capital X as, "capital X" in a higher than 
normal pitch. When speak cap is selected VoiceOver will read it as, "cap 
capital X". In other words, VoiceOver says the word "capital" before the letter 
regardless of which option is selected.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, an oversight or a feature, but it would make 
life much easier and more efficient if a user could choose whether VoiceOver 
indicated a capital letter by either changing pitch or speaking the word 
"capital" or "cap", but not both. Personally, I prefer VoiceOver to just change 
pitch and not say anything additional, as additional words are less efficient 
and waste time. So it would be great if one could stop VoiceOver from saying 
"capital" before capital letters.

Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Best,

Nic
