eSpeak abbreviation question

[Michael Whapples]

Also some of them should only apply when a capital is involved. Using the dr 
example, should only be doctor only when capital D is used. I noticed that 
in espeak these are not case sensitive.

Normally because it is hard for a computer to get it right, I normally avoid 
using synths that do this. I have come across some that make some very 
strange abrieviations, OK as Oklahoma (flite) and MS as manuscript 
(realspeak).

To get back to the original question, I don't know if punctuation can be 
used in these files, it might require some special codes to be used like in 
python programming when using punctuation in strings (e.g. \.).

One that often causes nothing but grief for speech is the ca
abbreviation.
Is it ca for Canada, Computer Associates, or California.
