Capitalisation in dialogue

Adrian B.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I kept getting corrected for using a capital letter after the "-" at the start of a line of dialogue. But it was frustratingly inconsistent—later I would get corrected for not using one. And the final text is displayed with capital letters in all cases. What's going on/what's the rule?

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "Tri Yann, an incredible band"

Hi Adrian,

We have had a look and as there seem to be some discrepancies, it has been escalated in the system.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
