Description-en: speech output interface to Emacs
Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow someone who
cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system.
.
Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs. Once Emacs is started with Emacspeak
loaded, users get spoken feedback for all actions. As Emacs can do
everything, they get speech feedback for everything they do.
.
This package recommends the speech server for the espeak (software)
speech synthesizer, so it should work straight away. However it also
contains the source for speech servers to support the DECtalk Express
and DECtalk MultiVoice (hardware) speech synthesizers. For other
synthesizers, look for speech server packages such as emacspeak-ss and
eflite.
