List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I press the keys for launching the terminal mode under Emacspeak, I type a simple ls command to test it, I won't hear anything of course, then the computer stopped speaking, and I need to reboot it. IS Emacspeak the problem? Is IBM Via Voice stopping? I don't know. Thank you for putting me to learn. Do you have a link to a text file with all the command lines used by emacspeak? I've tried that help, but I couldn't find how to set the speed of voice sinthesizer faster, nor how to read a text at once, not line by line. I also would like to know how can I skip the text when I read this way. In Windows, I can put the screen reader to read in "say all" mode and if I press the right shift, it skips a line and continue reading without stopping. If I press the left shift, it goes back with a line and continue reading without stopping. This is a good feature and I am sure it should be in Emacspeak also. However, I couldn't find it. I would also like to know if there is a kind of control panel for emacspeak, where I can set all the variables, a configuration file, etc. Emacspeak starts with a text file which is not too big and I should read a lot of things before finding how to set the sinthesizer faster. And I don't have the patience to listen how slowly it speaks.
