If you follow these rules, the Genie will always say what you intended. If you do not follow these rules, you may unintentionally create problems. The third-party software Vocera uses to provide text-to-speech translation may incorrectly interpret a string of capital letters as either an abbreviation or a word, depending on the number of letters in the string.
