Re: [orca-list] Using Emacs under Orca

[Will Estes <westes575 gmail com>]

You'll want to use emacs without orca. I use speechd-el because speechd-el takes the approach of letting 
emacs be emacs whereas emacspeak takes the approach of trying to make emacs do specific things. The 
difference is that with speechd-el, when you want to use a new feature of emacs (or one of its associated 
packages), things generally just work. Emacspeak supports a number of things and has its own specific ways of 
doing and enabling things. That's great when it has what you want but not so much when you go outside of that.

These days, there's no reason to look at xemacs.
