Re: [orca-list] speechd-el vs emacspeak.

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello,

Eventually I have built a package for speechd-el too.
Both will be included in the Slint64-14.2.1 ISO

To get it, as root type:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get --upgrade # to get also some security and bug fixes
slapt-get -i emacspeak # if not already done
slapt-get -i speechd

Thanks Peter, I have stolen your code snippet for .emacs, which saved me
a lot of time!
See:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/source/speechd-el/README.Slint

Only caveat: for now I had to make an ugly symlink as speechd-el
expects to find the socket of speech-dispatcher in ~/speech-dispatcher
but it is in ~/.cache/speech-didsatcher by default here (and orca
finds it, so I don't want to move it). This noted in README.Slint.

Greetings,

Didier
