It's not necessary to put all the variants with and without capital letter : Visibrain considers all the letter cases variants. \
\
On the contrary you need to list the different variant of accentuations (é, à, ç, û, ï ...). \
Indeed, Visibrain considers a word with accent differently than the word without accent.
