Emacspeak is a Linux application that allows
users to get synthesized speech output inside the Emacs
desktop environment. Because Emacspeak is actually integrated
into the Emacs environment (instead of
just running "on top" of an environment like most screen
readers), Emacspeak provides much
more context-specific information than its commercial screen
reader counterparts. In this sense, Emacspeak is not a
"screen reader," but rather a subsystem of Emacs that produces
speech output.
</P
><P
> Although Emacspeak only works inside Emacs, there are a
large number of both built-in and add-on applications for Emacs that
do everything from keeping track of your appointments to
playing CDs to coding HTML. In addition, Emacs has a special
command shell mode that can be used to run any command-line
application.
</P
><P
> This HOWTO focuses on installing Emacspeak on your
Linux system. It does not discuss how to actually use Emacs or
Emacspeak - for information on usage, refer to the
Emacspeak User's Guide, available at <A
