I have had two students who are medical transcriptionists and
they prefer that the first letter of the capitalized word be
demonstrated by a raise in pitch. Example: Grant The (G) of
Grant would be shown by a higher pitch.  Personally I like the
word CAP spoken when capitalization is encountered.  We bought
one of the first Soundingboards that Computer aids sold but it
is on my wife's computer. Next time I demonstrate Vocal-Eyes
I'll do it with the Sounding Board.  I still think though it
would be a good idea to incorporate a caps identification into
Vocal-Eyes though I can see why youthought it was duplicating
functions. Grant
