Ok, time to #AskFedi since a quick search is not being particularly helpful.

To screen reader users, how do they interpret writing in all caps? I tend to do that on specific words to express anger, frustration or simply for yelling in a humourous tone (I hardly do it for longer sentences, though.)

However, I don't want to keep doing it if screen readers are going to voice that as "capital W, capital H, capital Y" or something like that.

I'd hope it would say "all caps why" but you tell me. 🔁

@Yuriel Honestly, we just tried this as an example before sending this, and it doesn't seem to effect anything on our end. Others might have more insights though. -- Altheda/Lillianna

@Luminia @preciousoso I guess I should've put an example of an all caps word to test. I'm a dum-dum.

It's too bad you can't detect the change either so you get the full meaning, but at least I'm relieved that it doesn't affect readability. That's more important. Hopefully, that's everyone else's experience, regardless of the particular software they use.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
