It allows the user to work with Emacs without looking on the screen, using the speech output produced by the synthesizers supported in Speech Dispatcher. Key speechd-el features are: - Automated speaking of most Emacs messages and actions, without necessity to customize each particular Emacs function to make it speak. - Most built-in and external Emacs packages can produce speech output immediately, without any special support. - Almost no change of the standard Emacs behavior, no interference with user settings. - Highly configurable. - Full cooperation with Speech Dispatcher. - Small code size. - Free Software, distributed under the GPL. Part of the speechd-el package is an Elisp library for communication with Speech Dispatcher, allowing you to write your own Emacs speech output extensions and your own Emacs interfaces to Speech Dispatcher. * Where to get it? You can get the distribution tarball of the released version from http://www.freebsoft.org/pub/projects/speechd-el/speechd-el-0.1.tar.gz .
