Re: [orca-list] Using Emacs under Orca


I'm quite sure emacspeak works on a Mac. At least there seem to be
plenty of Mac users on the emacspeak mailing list.

Hello,

It requires either speech-dispatcher or espeak.
Espeak can definatelly be used on the mac, speech-dispatcher I am not sure can run on mac.
So if you are fine using that reader with espeak, you can very likelly make it work.
I assume emacspeak also has say all functionality but I'm not using it so I don't know the details.

 Sounds interesting.  I wonder if I could it with emacspeak as well, or
even use it with emacspeak on the mac, like the program written by
spivey  for the mac terminal?  If this is off topic you can write me
privately.

Hello,

Speechd-el can read the entire buffer however it does not sync caret with the reading position.
So there is really no way to pause, do something else and then continue from where you have paused.

As a workaround there is this text reader for emacs https://github.com/michelangelo-rodriguez/greader

 Will speech-el allow to read a long text buffer and stop reading and
have the cursor be at the place where you stopped -- emacspeak does
not allow this and so I have been using speakup for this, but it would
be nice if I could use emacs under a gui environment with orca and
even the mac and have this work properly.

 I've not done a lot in lisp -- excluding my init file(s) -- but what I've done has been fine. It's 
generally easy to tell what is going on and emacs has a lot of enabling of lisp features as one might 
expect.

 Thanks, this is really great info.

Does Speechd-el read Lisp well? I remember that being something Emacspeak
seemed to do well (I.e. it'd speak things like "2 right parens" when reading
Lisp where many screen readers might speak only one paren.) I think one
thing that has kept me off Lisp for a while is that it's one of the less
accessible languages IMO, and I wondered if I'd like it if it were more
approachable.

 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.

 I'm not sure I understand this statement. XEmacs is an alternative to Emacs,
but I'm not sure what use case you're referring to where XEmacs would be the
answer and not Emacs.

BTW, I use Emacs on the desktop with Emacspeak and not Orca. Of course you
could also run it in a terminal or console with Emacspeak. I haven't used
Speechd-el, so I can't compare the two. I used to use Emacs with Emacspeak
for code development, but it's been a while.

Subject: [orca-list] Using Emacs under Orca

I've been using VSCode under Windows and am getting a bit spoiled by it. Until
we have Electron app support under Linux, I'm considering trying to try
getting Emacs working as similarly as I can (I.e. language server interfaces,
code completion, etc.)

Does anyone have tips for making it work under Orca? Should I just run it in a
terminal or is there a GUI interface, or should I turn off Orca and use
Emacspeak/Speechd-el?

If the latter, which should I use? How do Emacspeak and Speechd-el compare?

And is anyone currently doing this and finding it useful? I'm currently just
using Gedit for code, but I like the integrated warnings/code completions that
language servers provide, and I don't know that Gedit supports this at all.

Thanks.
