Re: [orca-list] Emacs editor

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Emacs will come up as a GUI application if you start it from a terminal 
without using the 'nw switch. As a GUI application, it won't work with 
Orca. Therefore, if you want to use it without the graphical interface, 
bring it up in a console and use Speakup, or start it in a terminal with 
the command:

$ emacs -nw

and use Orca.

IMHO, the best way to use Emacs is with Emacspeak. There are multiple 
ways to install and configure Emacspeak. What version of Ubuntu are you 
running and what version of Emacs do you want to use? I just download 
the source for Emacspeak and use the make files to compile and install 
it myself. I use it with eSpeak. If you're interested, contact me off 
list and I can send you some instructions.
