If the word is entirely upper case, then the screen may read the letters, but should only do so with short words. Some might do it with any length.
A word with an initial capital is read as a word.
FBI, FM/AM, CIA, should be read as F B I, F M AM, C I A.
Fred, Capital, Capitol etc should be read as fred, capital, capitol.
NASA is usually written now as Nasa, so should be nasa, but probably ought to be N A S A if written as NASA.
I have some ebooks where shouting is done all UPPERCASE. I will test. If that's a problem there is solution.
Really a TTS ought to have an Abbreviations dictionary. This is smaller than a human's one as it doesn't need definitions.
