Re: [orca-list] Using eMacSpeak

[Devin Prater <r d t prater gmail com>]

Emacspeak is pretty up-to-date, and I love its speech and sound stuff it has going on, showing syntax highlighting, quick sounds for actions instead of speech, all that. But, on a Pi, you have to deal with ESpeak, which doesn't have that great of an Emacspeak speech server. So, I'd just stick with general text editors.

On my desktop, I use Emacs + Speechd-el which is more up to date.

If you use a Zero, how do you have sound? There is no sound card.

It works only in Emacs.

I don't think so. It would depend on your TTS.

Yes. I use only Braille. But if you have any solution to have sound, I'm'
interested.

You're a ranger! :-)
