Try this:
#!/bin/bash
strings "$1" | while read line
do
if [ ` echo "$line" | sed -e 's/[^a-zA-Z ]//g' | wc -m` -lt 6 ]
then
continue
fi
echo "$line" | s

Thanks. I meant that caps could only be at the beginning of a word,
not in the middle. Expanding your example, I figured that would be:
grep "^[A-Z]?[a-z]*$

I have a long binary file (about 12 MB) that I need to extract the
text from via "strings". Naturally, there are a lot of junk lines such
as these:
pDuf
#k0H}g)
GoV5
rLeY1

Is there a way to grep the output of strings in order to only show
lines that contain words found in the aspell diction
