Emacspeak is an Emacs subsystem that allows the user to
get feedback using synthesized speech.
Screen reading programs allow a visually impaired user to get feedback
using synthesized speech. Such programs have been commercially available
for well over a decade. Most of them run on PC's under DOS, and there
are now a few screen-readers for the Windows platform. However,
screen-readers for the UNIX environment have been conspicuous in their
absence.
This means that most visually impaired computer users face the
additional handicap of being DOS-impaired -- a far more serious
problem:-)
Emacspeak is an emacs subsystem that provides basic speech access
functionality. Emacspeak will always have the shortcoming that it will
only work under Emacs. This said, there is very little that cannot be
done inside Emacs, so it's not a real shortcoming:-)
Emacspeak does have a significant advantage: since it runs inside Emacs, a
structure-sensitive, fully customizable editor, Emacspeak often has more
context-specific information about what it is speaking than its commercial
counterparts. In this sense, Emacspeak is not a "screenreader", it is a
subsystem that produces speech output. A traditional screen-reader speaks the
content of the screen, leaving it to the user to interpret the visually
laid-out information. Emacspeak, on the other hand, treats speech as a
first-class output modality; it speaks the information in a manner that is
easy to comprehend when listening.
This initial version provides a basic speech subsystem for Emacs; using
Emacs' power and flexibility, it has proven straightforward to add
modules that customize how things are spoken, e.g. depending on the
major/minor mode of a given buffer. Note that the basic speech
functionality provided by Emacspeak is sufficient to use most Emacs
packages effectively; adding package-specific customizations makes the
interaction much smoother. This is because package-specific extensions
can take advantage of the current context.
Emacspeak currently comes with speech extensions for several popular
Emacs subsystems and editing modes.
I would like to thank their respective authors for their wonderful work
which makes Emacs more than a text
editor(1).
For those who doubt the credibility of a speech extension to Emacs
working as a full blown spoken interface, here is a list of Emacs
subsystems that have been customized to work with speech output.
-
W3 for surfing the WWW.
-
VM For reading and replying to email.
-
Gnus for reading Usenet news.
-
Calendar for maintaining appointments etc.
-
auctex for editing TeX and LaTeX.
-
Dired for navigating a file system.
-
C and C++ editing extensions.
-
Calc for working with the Emacs Calculator.
-
Info for listening to online documentation.
-
Folding for using Emacs as a structured folding editor.
-
Tempo a package that allows for editing templates.
This extension makes html-helper-mode speech friendly.
-
Ispell for spell checking files.
-
Eterm for launching terminal based programs. This extension enables you
to login to another system and get spoken feedback, as well as running
programs that can only be run from the shell. Note: eterm is a new
improved terminal emulator by Perl Bothner (bothner@cygnus.com)
-
Buffer-menu for navigating through the list of currently open buffers.
-
Comint for command interpreters running in an inferior process.
In addition, other editing modes like Perl and TCL modes work fluently
with emacspeak
Emacspeak; there is currently no speech extension for these because I
have not found a need for it.
Emacs-19's font-locking facilities are extended to the speech
output as well; for instance, a user can customize the system to have
different types of text spoken using different kinds of voices (speech
fonts).
Currently, this feature is used to provide "voice locking" for many
popular editing modes like c-mode, tcl-mode, perl-mode, emacs-lisp-mode
etc.
The basic concepts used by Emacspeak are simple; all of the Emacs cursor
movement commands as well as the various input-output functions are
adapted to provide speech feedback. Hence, a user can just use Emacs as
he normally would; Emacspeak works behind the scene to give audio
feedback in addition to updating the screen.
Emacspeak currently supports the software DecTalk (using my DTK-tclSH), the
portable Dectalk Express, the MultiVoice, and older Dectalk 3
synthesizers.
The Dectalk Express is a portable Dectalk speech synthesizer that can be
connected to the serial port of a workstation or PC. It is the latest in
the family of Dectalk synthesizers and is backwards compatible with
other serial-line Dectalk synthesizers, e.g. the MultiVoice.
Note: The Dectalk Express and the Software-Dectalk are both DTK-4.2.
To use the Dectalk Express, set the environment variable
DTK_PROGRAM to dtk-exp.
The environment variable DTK_PORT tells emacspeak which port the
Dectalk is connected to.
By default, this is /dev/tty00 on DEC Ultrix (mips) and Digital UNIX
(OSF on DECALPHA)
and /dev/ttyS0 under Linux.
Note: (dtk-tclsh has not been generally released.
If you have a DECALPHA and the software Dectalk,
please get in touch, and I will make dtk-tclsh available to you.)
The Software Dectalk is a Dectalk Speech Synthesizer that runs in
software on the DECALPHA. This software library allows user applications
to produce synthesized speech.
dtk-tclsh is a TCL shell with Dectalk extensions; the functions provided
by the Dectalk library are accessible as TCL commands. dtk-TCLSH allows
the user to write simple TCL scripts that produce speech.
To use the Software Dectalk with Emacspeak, you need to:
- Install the software Dectalk on your workstation.
At CRL, see
/crl/kits/DECtalk
.
- Set the environment variable DTK_TCL
to the pathname to the dtk-tclsh executable. At CRL use
~raman/bin.alpha/dtk-tclsh
,
and Set the environment variable dtk_PROGRAM
to "dtk-soft".
The Dectalk MultiVoice is another speech synthesizer which can be
connected to the serial port of a workstation or PC.
To use the MultiVoice, set the environment variable
DTK_PROGRAM to dtk-mv.
Note: The device drivers use extended TCL, also known as TCLX.
This is a typical source of confusion, so here is some TCL background.
TCL is a scripting language.
The vanila TCL executable is called tclsh.
The extended TCL is called TCLX, but the corresponding
executable is called tcl on most systems.
For emacspeak, you need the extended TCL shell, ie the executable tcl.
(Note: Extended TCL comes as part of the tcl disk set with the
Slackware distribution of Linux).
This chapter of the manual deals with getting, configuring, compiling, and
installing Emacspeak.
Emacspeak is available from the WWW page for Emacspeak at
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/emacspeak/emacspeak.html
This page contains information on recent updates, and pointers into a
potential FAQ list.
There is a mailing list emacspeak@cs.vassar.edu
for Emacspeak
users, maintained by Greg E. Priest-Dorman. If you are using Emacspeak,
you should send mail to priestdo@cs.vassar.edu and ask for a
subscription. Use it for reporting problems or better still, your own
contributions to Emacspeak.
Note: I work on Emacspeak in my spare time; so please keep this in mind
when requesting additional features.
If you are lucky, things will probably work "out of the box" for you.
Here are the quick installation instructions.
See the next section for detailed installation instructions.
-
Look over the Makefile and edit site-specific variables.
-
Type `make config' to configure the sources for your site.
-
Type `make emacspeak' to compile the files.
-
Run it by doing one of:
In the above, <emacspeak-dir> refers to the directory where you unpacked
the sources.
Note: You need GNU Emacs 19 (19.23 or later) for using Emacspeak.
Emacspeak may work with other flavors of Emacs19, e.g. xemacs
, but I
have not tried it.
The driver for the Dectalk is written in TclX. (For example, see the
source file `dtk-exp'). If you happen to rewrite it in C, I'd be
more than happy to incorporate it in a future version of Emacspeak.
- Decide where you want the Emacspeak elisp files. Most Unix packages are
unpacked and compiled in one directory, and then the executable,
documentation, and data files are installed in the appropriate system
directories. However, Emacspeak elisp byte-compiled files are
conventionally left in the same directory as the source files. One
reasonable choice would be
`/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak'.
Once you have decided on the appropriate directory, make it if necessary
and unpack the distribution
.tar
file there.
- Look through the introductory section of the Makefile to see if you need
to edit it for your site. You may also want to define the Make variable
DECTALK to give you spoken feedback during installation (a hundred
lines or so). For example, on Ultrix you might define
DECTALK=>/dev/tty00
- Check the directory prefix for installation. The default is `/usr/local',
so `.info' files go to `/usr/local/info' and the executable
file goes to `/usr/local/bin'. To change this, edit the line
defining prefix.
Configure the source files by typing `make config'. At this point
you can check that the device driver is correctly configured by typing
tcl dtk-exp
(assuming you are using the Dectalk Express). You should hear the
Dectalk speak and get a TCL prompt if everything is okay.
If you're feeling paranoid, you can perform a couple of additional tests
at this point. Execute the following commands in the running tcl session
you just started above. (Most users will not need to do this; it is a
sanity check and is useful in tracking problems, especially if you find
emacspeak beginning to talk and then immediately fall silent.)
- `dectalk_speak testing'
You should hear the Dectalk speak the text.
- `dectalk_stop'
The above command stops speech.
You should see a TCL prompt when you execute it.
If things appear to hang when you execute `dectalk_stop'
i.e. you don't see a TCL prompt
- The serial cable conecting your speech device is flaky
- Your serial port is flaky
- The stty settings on the port are incorrect for your system
In the case of incorrect stty settings please report the problem. The
following UNIX command can be used to report the stty settings:
stty -a < serial_port
Quit this TCL
session by typing control-D.
Next, compile the elisp files by typing
make emacspeak
Finally, install the documentation and executable files by typing
make install
The driver program and/or output port can also be specified at run time by
setting the shell environment variables DTK_PROGRAM and DTK_PORT.
Examples: If using csh
or tcsh
setenv DTK_PROGRAM "dtk-exp"
if using sh
or bash
DTK_PROGRAM=dtk-exp
export DTK_PROGRAM
Similarly,
DTK_PORT=/dev/ttyS0
You can always set these variables from a running Emacs session by
executing
the Emacs setenv command.
To use emacspeak you can do one of the following:
- Add the line
(load-file (expand-file-name "emacspeak_dir/emacspeak-setup.el"))
to the start of your `.emacs' file.
This will start emacspeak every time you use Emacs.
(This might not be a good idea if a sighted person often uses your account.)
- Alternatively, define
emacspeak
as an alias.
If you use csh
or tcsh
:
alias emacspeak "emacs -q -l emacspeak_dir/emacspeak-setup.el -l $HOME/.emacs"
If you use bash
(the default under linux):
alias emacspeak="emacs -q -l emacspeak_dir/emacspeak-setup.el -l $HOME/.emacs"
This could go into the system-wide initilization file (`/etc/profile')
or in the personal initialization file (in `~/.bash_profile', `~/.bash_login', or `~/.profile')
Note: in all of the above you should of course replace emacspeak_dir
with your site-specific value
- Use the
emacspeak.sh
shell script which is equivalent to the above
alias, and is created during the above installation procedure.
Using any one of these methods will:
- Add the Emacspeak code directory to the load-path.
- Load the relevant libraries.
- Start up Emacspeak.
Note: This documentation should be used in conjunction with the online
Emacs info pages that extensively document Emacs itself.
These sections briefly describe the speech-enabling extensions.
However, they should not be considered a substitute for reading the
Emacs manual.
How successfully you use Emacspeak will depend on how well you learn
your Emacs.
All Emacs navigation and editing commands have been speech enabled.
Thus, moving to the next or previous word, line or sexp results in the text
around point being spoken. Exactly how much text is spoken is determined by
the amount by which point moves.
In addition, Emacspeak provides basic reading functions that can be
invoked to listen to chunks of text without moving point.
- `M-x emacspeak-describe-emacspeak'
-
Give a brief overview of emacspeak.
- `C-e C-b'
-
- `M-x emacspeak-submit-bug'
-
Function to submit a bug to the programs maintainer
All of the normal Emacs movement commands will speak the relevant
information after moving.
Here are some of the cursor movement functions that have been speech
enabled.
Note that this list only enumerates a few of these speech enabled
commands;
the purpose of emacspeak is to speech-enable all of emacs and provide
you spoken feedback as you work.
Thus, this list is here only as a representative example of the kind of
speech-enabling extensions Emacspeak provides.
- C-n
-
- M-x next-line
-
- down
-
Speaks line moved to.
- C-p
-
- M-x previous-line
-
- up
-
Speaks line moved to.
- M-f
-
- M-x forward-word
-
Speaks word moved to.
Places point on the first character of the next work, rather than on the space
preceding it
(This is my personal preference).
- M-b
-
- M-x backward-word
-
Speaks word moved to.
- M-C-f
-
- M-x forward-sexp
-
Speaks sexp moved to.
If the sexp spans more than a line, only the first line is spoken.
- M-C-b
-
- M-x backward-sexp
-
Speaks sexp moved to.
If the sexp spans more than a line, only the first line is spoken.
- M-<
-
- M-x beginning-of-buffer
-
Speaks line moved to.
- M->
-
- M-x end-of-buffer
-
Speaks line moved to.
- M-m
-
- M-x back-to-indentation
-
Speaks entire current line.
A useful way of hearing the current line.
For a complete list of the functions that have been advised, see file
`emacspeak-advice.el'.
While typing in an Emacs buffer, hitting space speaks the recently typed
word. I use TMC completion all the time; so Emacspeak will speak the
completion just inserted as well as the next possible completion.
Under Emacs19, use load-library ret completion ret
for loading
the completion package.
The standard Emacs I/O functions have also been advised to speak.
All forms of completion, including minibuffer completion, provide speech
feedback.
In addition, Emacspeak provides a number of commands for reading portions of the current buffer,
getting status information, and modifying Emacspeak's state.
All of the commands are documented in the subsequent sections.
They can be classified into types:
-
Emacspeak commands for listening to chunks of information.
The names of these commands all start with the common prefix
emacspeak-
.
All Emacspeak commands are bound to the keymap emacspeak-keymap and are accessed with the key Control e(2).
Thus, the Emacspeak command emacspeak-speak-line
is bound to l in keymap emacspeak-keymap and
can be accessed with the keystroke Control-e l.
If for some reason you wish to use some key other than control-e as the common keyboard prefix for all Emacspeak commands,
set the variable emacspeak-prefix.
-
The second category of commands provided by Emacspeak manipulate the state of the speech device.
The names of these commands start with the common prefix
dtk-
and are bound in keymap
emacspeak-dtk-submap.
You can access these commands via the prefix Control-e d(3).
Thus, the command dtk-set-rate is bound to r
in keymap emacspeak-dtk-submap and can be executed by
pressing Control e d r.
Emacs has extensive online help; so does emacspeak.
Please use it.
This info manual is only to get you started.
You can get a summary of Emacspeak's features by pressing Control-h Control-e
The following commands allow you to listen to information without moving
point (point is emacs terminology for the editing cursor).
Emacspeak uses C-e as a prefix-key. Note: In all of the
following, a prefix arg (conventionally C-u) will read the "rest
of the unit" and a negative prefix arg (conventionally C-u -) will
read the initial part of the unit before point. As an example, given
the sexp able-baker-charlie
with point on the -
preceding the baker
, emacspeak-speak-speak will say:
able-baker-charlie
with no prefix-arg.
baker-charlie
with a positive prefix-arg.
able
with a negative prefix arg.
Note: I am not satisfied with the above, in fact providing a
negative prefix is so cumbersome that I never use it.
Note: For a better way of reading the beginning and or rest of a line
etc, see the extended Emacspeak reading commands such as
emacspeak-speak-line-interactively
.
- `M-x emacspeak-audio-annotate-paragraphs'
-
Set property auditory-icon at front of all paragraphs.
Interactive prefix arg prompts for sound cue to use
- `M-x emacspeak-speak-voice-annotate-paragraphs'

- `C-e d b'
-
- `M-x dtk-toggle-debug'
-
Toggle state of the debug flag.
When debugging is on, you can switch to the buffer
*speaker* to examine the output from the process
that talks to the speech device.
Note: *speaker* is a hidden buffer, ie it has a leading space in its name.
- `C-e d [space]'
-
- `M-x dtk-toggle-splitting-on-white-space'
-
Toggle state of emacspeak that decides if we split text purely by
clause boundaries, or also include whitespace. By default, emacspeak
sends a clause at a time to the speech device. This produces fluent
speech for normal use. However in modes such as shell-mode and some
programming language modes, clause markers appear infrequently, and
this can result in large amounts of text being sent to the speech
device at once, making the system unresponsive when asked to stop
talking. Splitting on white space makes emacspeak's stop command
responsive. However, when splitting on white space, the speech sounds
choppy since the synthesizer is getting a word at a time.
- `C-e d C-m'
-
- `M-x dtk-set-chunk-separator-syntax'
-
Interactively set how text is split in chunks. See the emacs
documentation on syntax tables for details on how characters are
classified into various syntactic classes.

-
Stop speech now.
- `C-e d a'
-
- `M-x dtk-add-cleanup-pattern'
-
Add this pattern to the list of repeating patterns that are cleaned
up. Optional interactive prefix arg deletes this pattern if
previously added. Cleaning up repeated patterns results in emacspeak
speaking the pattern followed by a repeat count instead of speaking
all the characters making up the pattern. Thus, by adding the
repeating pattern `.' (this is already added by default) emacspeak
will say "aw fifteen dot" when speaking the string
"..............." instead of "period period period period "
- `C-e d r'
-
- `M-x dtk-set-rate'
-
Set speaking rate for the tts.
Interactive prefix arg means set the global default value, and then set the
current local value to the result.

-
Set speech rate to one of nine predefined levels.
Interactive prefix arg says to set the rate globally.
- `C-e d f'
-
- `M-x dtk-set-character-scale'
-
Set scale factor by which speech rate is scaled when
speaking characters.
Interactive prefix arg means set the global default value, and then set the
current local value to the result.
- `C-e d q'
-
- `M-x dtk-toggle-quiet'
-
Toggle state of the speech device between being quiet and talkative.
Useful if you want to continue using an emacs session that has
emacspeak loaded but wish to make the speech shut up.
- `C-e d I'
-
- `M-x dtk-toggle-stop-immediately-while-typing'
-
Toggle state of variable dtk-stop-immediately-while-typing.
As the name implies, if T then speech flushes immediately as you
type.

value to the result.
- `C-e d c'
-
- `M-x dtk-toggle-capitalization'
-
Toggle capitalization. when set, capitalization is indicated by a

value, and then set the current local value to the result.
- `C-e d C'
-
- `M-x dtk-toggle-allcaps-beep'
-
Toggle allcaps-beep. when set, allcaps words are indicated by a
short beep. Interactive prefix arg means toggle the global default
value, and then set the current local value to the result.
Note that allcaps-beep is a very useful thing when programming.
However it is irritating to have it on when reading documents.
- `C-e d p'
-
- `M-x dtk-set-punctuations'
-
Set punctuation state.
Possible values are `some', `all', or `none'.
Interactive prefix arg means set the global default value, and then set the
current local value to the result.

Dectalks, e.g. the Dectalk Express. Possible values are `math, name,
europe, spell', all of which can be turned on or off.
- `C-e d R'
-
- `M-x dtk-reset-state'
-
Restore sanity to the Dectalk.
Typically used after the Dectalk has been power cycled.
- `C-e p'
-
- `M-x dtk-pause'
-
Pause ongoing speech. The speech can be resumed with command dtk-resume
normally bound to C-e [space]. Pausing speech is useful when one needs to
perform a few actions before continuing to read a large document. Emacspeak
gives you speech feedback as usual once speech has been paused. dtk-resume
continues the interrupted speech irrespective of the buffer in which it is
executed. Optional first arg pauses speech even if there
is no ongoing speech. This lets you flush paused speech
without having to resume it.
If speech has already been paused once, this command will
not pause speech again-- instead you will hear an auditory
warning if have auditory icons turned on.
- `C-e [space]'
-
- `M-x dtk-resume'
-
Resumes speech that has been suspended by executing
command dtk-pause bound to C-e p.
If speech has not been paused,
and variable dtk-resume-should-toggle is t
then this command will pause ongoing speech.
- `C-e d v'
-
- `M-x voice-lock-mode'
-
Toggle Voice Lock mode.
With arg, turn Voice Lock mode on if and only if arg is positive.
When Voice Lock mode is enabled, text is voiceified as you type it:
- Comments are displayed in `voice-lock-comment-personality';
- Strings are displayed in `voice-lock-string-personality';
- Certain other expressions are displayed in other personalities according to the
value of the variable `voice-lock-keywords'.
You can enable Voice Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in
the major mode's hook. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-voice-lock)
Alternatively, you can use Global Voice Lock mode to automagically turn on Voice
Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it and whose major mode is one
of `voice-lock-global-modes'. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
(global-voice-lock-mode t)
There are a number of support modes that may be used to speed up Voice Lock mode
in various ways, specified via the variable `voice-lock-support-mode'. Where
major modes support different levels of voiceification, you can use the variable
`voice-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
When you turn Voice Lock mode on/off the buffer is voiceified/devoiceified, though
voiceification occurs only if the buffer is less than `voice-lock-maximum-size'.
For example, to specify that Voice Lock mode use use Lazy Lock mode as a support
mode and use maximum levels of voiceification, put in your ~/.emacs:
(setq voice-lock-support-mode 'lazy-voice-lock-mode)
(setq voice-lock-maximum-decoration t)
To voiceify a buffer, without turning on Voice Lock mode and regardless of buffer
size, you can use `M-x voice-lock-voiceify-buffer'.
To voiceify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of
lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused
syntactic change on other lines, you can use `M-x voice-lock-voiceify-block'.
The default Voice Lock mode personalities and their attributes are defined in the
variable `voice-lock-personality-attributes', and Voice Lock mode default settings in
the variable `voice-lock-defaults-alist'. You can set your own default settings
for some mode, by setting a buffer local value for `voice-lock-defaults', via
its mode hook.
- `M-x global-voice-lock-mode'
-
Toggle Global Voice Lock mode.
With prefix ARG, turn Global Voice Lock mode on if and only if ARG is positive.
Displays a message saying whether the mode is on or off if MESSAGE is non-nil.
Returns the new status of Global Voice Lock mode (non-nil means on).
When Global Voice Lock mode is enabled, Voice Lock mode is automagically
turned on in a buffer if its major mode is one of `voice-lock-global-modes'.
- `M-x voice-lock-voiceify-buffer'
-
Voiceify the current buffer the way `voice-lock-mode' would.
- `M-x voice-lock-voiceify-block'
-
Voiceify some lines the way `voice-lock-voiceify-buffer' would.
The lines could be a function or paragraph, or a specified number of lines.
If ARG is given, voiceify that many lines before and after point, or 16 lines if
no ARG is given and `voice-lock-mark-block-function' is nil.
If `voice-lock-mark-block-function' non-nil and no ARG is given, it is used to
delimit the region to voiceify.
- `M-x fast-voice-lock-mode'
-
Toggle Fast Lock mode.
With arg, turn Fast Lock mode on if and only if arg is positive and the buffer
is associated with a file. Enable it automatically in your `~/.emacs' by:
(setq voice-lock-support-mode 'fast-voice-lock-mode)
If Fast Lock mode is enabled, and the current buffer does not contain any text
properties, any associated Voice Lock cache is used if its timestamp matches the
buffer's file, and its `voice-lock-keywords' match those that you are using.
Voice Lock caches may be saved:
- When you save the file's buffer.
- When you kill an unmodified file's buffer.
- When you exit Emacs, for all unmodified or saved buffers.
Depending on the value of `fast-voice-lock-save-events'.
See also the commands `fast-voice-lock-read-cache' and `fast-voice-lock-save-cache'.
Use `M-x voice-lock-voiceify-buffer' to voiceify the buffer if the cache is bad.
Various methods of control are provided for the Voice Lock cache. In general,
see variable `fast-voice-lock-cache-directories' and function `fast-voice-lock-cache-name'.
For saving, see variables `fast-voice-lock-minimum-size', `fast-voice-lock-save-events',
`fast-voice-lock-save-others' and `fast-voice-lock-save-personalities'.
Use `M-x fast-voice-lock-submit-bug-report' to send bug reports or feedback.
- `M-x fast-voice-lock-read-cache'
-
Read the Voice Lock cache for the current buffer.
The following criteria must be met for a Voice Lock cache file to be read:
- Fast Lock mode must be turned on in the buffer.
- The buffer must not be modified.
- The buffer's `voice-lock-keywords' must match the cache's.
- The buffer file's timestamp must match the cache's.
- Criteria imposed by `fast-voice-lock-cache-directories'.
See `fast-voice-lock-mode'.
- `M-x fast-voice-lock-save-cache'
-
Save the Voice Lock cache of BUFFER or the current buffer.
The following criteria must be met for a Voice Lock cache file to be saved:
- Fast Lock mode must be turned on in the buffer.
- The event must be one of `fast-voice-lock-save-events'.
- The buffer must be at least `fast-voice-lock-minimum-size' bytes long.
- The buffer file must be owned by you, or `fast-voice-lock-save-others' must be t.
- The buffer must contain at least one `personality' text property.
- The buffer must not be modified.
- The buffer file's timestamp must be the same as the file's on disk.
- The on disk file's timestamp must be different than the buffer's cache.
- Criteria imposed by `fast-voice-lock-cache-directories'.
See `fast-voice-lock-mode'.
- `M-x lazy-voice-lock-mode'
-
Toggle Lazy Lock mode.
With arg, turn Lazy Lock mode on if and only if arg is positive. Enable it
automatically in your `~/.emacs' by:
(setq voice-lock-support-mode 'lazy-voice-lock-mode)
When Lazy Lock mode is enabled, voiceification can be lazy in a number of ways:
- Demand-driven buffer voiceification if `lazy-voice-lock-minimum-size' is non-nil.
This means initial voiceification does not occur if the buffer is greater
than `lazy-voice-lock-minimum-size' characters in length. Instead, voiceification
occurs when necessary, such as when scrolling through the buffer would
otherwise reveal unvoiceified areas. This is useful if buffer voiceification
is too slow for large buffers.
- Defer-driven buffer voiceification if `lazy-voice-lock-defer-driven' is non-nil.
This means all voiceification is deferred, such as voiceification that occurs
when scrolling through the buffer would otherwise reveal unvoiceified areas.
Instead, these areas are seen momentarily unvoiceified. This is useful if
demand-driven voiceification is too slow to keep up with scrolling.
- Deferred on-the-fly voiceification if `lazy-voice-lock-defer-time' is non-nil.
This means on-the-fly voiceification does not occur as you type. Instead,
voiceification is deferred until after `lazy-voice-lock-defer-time' seconds of
Emacs idle time, while Emacs remains idle. This is useful if on-the-fly
voiceification is too slow to keep up with your typing.
- Stealthy buffer voiceification if `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-time' is non-nil.
This means remaining unvoiceified areas of buffers are voiceified if Emacs has
been idle for `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-time' seconds, while Emacs remains idle.
This is useful if any buffer has demand- or defer-driven voiceification.
See also variables `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-lines', `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-nice' and
`lazy-voice-lock-stealth-verbose' for stealth voiceification.

in which all lines start with a common prefix. Optional interactive
prefix arg causes all blocks in current buffer to be hidden or exposed.
- `M-x emacspeak-hide-or-expose-all-blocks'
-
Hide or expose all blocks in buffer
- `C-e C-j'
-
- `M-x emacspeak-hide-speak-block-sans-prefix'

Emacspeak already works in all Emacs modes.
The following modes have Emacspeak specific commands.
Note: The documentation
in the subsequent sections should be used in conjunction with the info
pages for these separate subsystems.
This document will only describe Emacspeak extensions to the various
subsystems.
Often, the description here is limited to documenting what Emacspeak
adds by way of auditory feedback.
This package is for setting "bookmarks" in files. A bookmark
associates a string with a location in a certain file. Thus, you
can navigate your way to that location by providing the string.

The speedbar is also advised for use with emacspeak. The default
speedbar.el that is distributed with the Emacs JDE will only work under
a windowing system. This module takes care of setting things up to work
(if somewhat clumsily) outside X. I hope to get the author of speedbar
to tweak things a bit so we can avoid kluges here.

Emacs now has the ability to edit enriched text, which is text
containing embedded formatting information in the MIME standard
text/enriched format, representing faces, colors, indentation, and other
properties. To create a new file with enriched text, use the command
"M-x enriched-mode". More information about Enriched mode is available
in the file etc/enriched.doc in the Emacs distribution directory, which
you may find at /usr/lib/emacs/19.34/etc/enriched.doc or similar.

Useful in voicifying rich text.
You can use the terminal emulator mode to run arbitrary terminal-based
programs from within Emacs. You open a terminal emulator buffer using
M-x term, with an extra carriage return to accept the default shell
(such as bash). (Incidently, don't confuse this command with M-x
terminal-emulator, which starts an older terminal emulator mode not
supported by Emacspeak.)
Three kinds of commands are used within the terminal emulator.
Normal term commands use a prefix of C-c. The emacspeak commands for
eterm mode use a prefix of C-t. Anything else is a normal shell command.
There are two sub-modes of term mode: char sub-mode and line sub-mode.
In char sub-mode, emacspeak will only speak the finally displayed line.
Each character typed (except `term-escape-char`) is sent immediately.
Use char sub-mode for screen oriented programs like vi or pine.
In line sub-mode, all program output is spoken. When you type a return
at the end of the buffer, that line is sent as input, while return not
at end copies the rest of the line to the end and sends it.
The default is char sub-mode. You can switch to line sub-mode with C-c
C-j (recall that control J is a linefeed), and back to char sub-mode
with C-c C-k (think of character spelled with a K).
In both terminal modes, characters you type are spoken. In line mode,
the command's output and the shell's prompt are also spoken.
In line sub-mode of term mode, emacs editing commands work normally,
until you type RET which sends the current line to the inferior process.
Here are some of the useful commands for the line sub-mode of the term
mode. In addition, the usual commands for handling a buffer work in
this mode (C-x o to switch windows, C-x k to kill a buffer, C-x f to
find a file, and so forth).
- `C-c C-k'
-
- `M-x term-char-mode'
-
Switch to char sub-mode of term mode.
- `C-c C-z'
-
- `M-x term-stop-subjob'
-
Stop the current subjob. Resume the subjob in the foreground with the
ordinary command fg, or run it in the background with bg. WARNING: if
there is no current subjob, you can end up suspending the top-level
process running in the buffer. If you accidentally do this, use M-x
term-continue-subjob to resume the process. (This is not a problem with
with most shells, including bash, since they ignore this signal.)
- `C-c C-\'
-
- `M-x term-quit-subjob'
-
Send quit signal to the current subjob.
- `C-c C-c'
-
- `M-x term-interrupt-subjob'
-
Interrupt the current subjob.
- `C-c C-w'
-
- `M-x backward-kill-word'
-
Kill characters backward until encountering the end of a word.
- `C-c C-u'
-
- `M-x term-kill-input'
-
Kill all text from last stuff output by interpreter to point.
- `C-c C-a'
-
- `M-x term-bol'
-
Goes to the beginning of line, then skips past the prompt, if any.
If a prefix argument is given (C-u), then no prompt skip
-- go straight to column 0.
- `C-c C-d'
-
- `M-x term-send-eof'
-
Send an end of file character (EOF) to the current buffer's process.
You can get a list of all the key sequences with a C-c prefix by typing
C-c C-h while in this sub-mode. Some of those commands are only available
in the line sub-mode, while others are generally available.
In char sub-mode of term, each character you type is sent directly to
the inferior process without intervention from emacs, except for the
escape character (usually C-c).
Here are some of the useful commands for the char sub-mode. Note that
the usual commands for killing a buffer or switching buffers do not work
in this mode, so new key bindings are supplied. The first five commands
are different ways of leaving this mode.
- `C-c C-j'
-
- `M-x term-line-mode'
-
Switch to line sub-mode of term mode.
- `C-c o'
-
- `M-x other-window'
-

-
- `M-x find-file'
-
Switch to a buffer visiting a file, creating one if none already exists.
- `C-c 0'
-
- `M-x delete-window'
-

-
- `M-x list-directory'
-

globbed by the shell if necessary. Prefix arg (C-u) means supply -l
switch to `ls'. The list appears in a second window.
- `C-c 1'
-
- `M-x delete-other-windows'
-
Delete all other windows in the frame, making the current window fill
its frame.
- `C-c C-c'
-
- `M-x term-send-raw'
-

without any interpretation.
- `C-c ('
-
- `M-x start-kbd-macro'
-
Record subsequent keyboard input, defining a keyboard macro.
The commands are recorded even as they are executed.
Use C-c ) to finish recording and make the macro available.
Use M-x name-last-kbd-macro to give it a permanent name.
Prefix arg (C-u) means append to last macro defined;
This begins by re-executing that macro as if you had typed it again.
- `C-c )'
-
- `M-x end-kbd-macro'
-
Finish defining a keyboard macro.
The definition was started by C-c (.
The macro is now available for use via C-c e,
or it can be given a name with M-x name-last-kbd-macro and then invoked
under that name.
- `C-c e'
-
- `M-x call-last-kbd-macro'
-
Call the last keyboard macro that you defined with C-c (.
A prefix argument serves as a repeat count. Zero means repeat until
error.
You can get a list of all the key sequences with a C-c prefix by typing
C-c C-h while in this sub-mode. Some of those commands are only available
in the char sub-mode, while others are generally available.
The eterm mode maintains a pointer, which is not necessarily the same as
the terminal's cursor. It is intended to be used in eterm's char
submode. In char submode, C-t , (that's control-t followed by comma)
will tell you where the eterm pointer is. C-t C-i will tell you where
the terminal's cursor is. The top left corner of the window is "row 0
column 0".
The eterm pointer can be moved with C-t < (to the top of the screen),
C-t > (to the bottom of the screen), C-t n (to the next line), C-t p (to
the previous line), and C-t . (to the cursor). Each of these also
speaks the line the pointer moves to. You can also search forward with
C-t s.
These commands speak without moving the pointer: C-t l (current line),
C-t w (current word), C-t c (current character), and C-t [space] (from
eterm pointer to cursor).
You may enter review mode with C-t q. In review mode, you can search
the buffer and speak its contents, without disturbing the terminal.
Commands for moving the pointer are similar to normal editing commands,
but without a control key: n and p for next and previous line, f and b
for forward and back by characters, < and > for the beginning or end of
the buffer. c, w, and l speak the current character, word, and line. s
searches forward (not incrementally). A comma speaks the pointer
location. A period moves the pointer to the terminal cursor. Return to
normal term mode by typing q.

- `M-x emacspeak-keymap-choose-new-emacspeak-prefix'
-
Interactively select a new prefix key to use for all emacspeak
commands. The default is to use `C-e' This command
lets you switch the prefix to something else. This is a useful thing
to do if you run emacspeak on a remote machine from inside a terminal
that is running inside a local emacspeak session. You can have the
remote emacspeak use a different control key to give your fingers some
relief.
Emacspeak can connect to a speech server running on a remote host.
- `M-x emacspeak-remote-quick-connect-to-server'
-
Connect to remote server.
Does not prompt for host or port, but quietly uses the
guesses that appear as defaults when prompting.

-
- `M-x emacspeak-remote-connect-to-server'
-
Connect to and start using remote speech server running on host host
and listening on port port. Host is the hostname of the remote
server, typically the desktop machine. Port is the tcp port that that
host is listening on for speech requests.
Emacspeak implements user customizable pronunciation dictionaries.
Custom pronunciations can be defined per file, per directory and/or per
major mode. Emacspeak maintains a persistent user dictionary upon
request and loads these in new emacspeak sessions.

Turning on the use of pronunciation dictionaries results in emacspeak
composing a pronunciation table based on the currently defined
pronunciation dictionaries.
After this, the pronunciations will be applied whenever text in the
buffer is spoken.
- `M-x emacspeak-pronounce-refresh-pronunciations'
-

- `fast-voice-lock-minimum-size'
-
*Minimum size of a buffer for cached voiceification.
Only buffers more than this can have associated Voice Lock cache files saved.
If nil, means cache files are never created.
If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SIZE),
where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
((c-mode . 25600) (c++-mode . 25600) (rmail-mode . 1048576))
means that the minimum size is 25K for buffers in C or C++ modes, one megabyte
for buffers in Rmail mode, and size is irrelevant otherwise.
- `fast-voice-lock-save-events'
-
*Events under which caches will be saved.
Valid events are `save-buffer', `kill-buffer' and `kill-emacs'.
If concurrent editing sessions use the same associated cache file for a file's
buffer, then you should add `save-buffer' to this list.
- `fast-voice-lock-save-others'
-
*If non-nil, save Voice Lock cache files irrespective of file owner.
If nil, means only buffer files known to be owned by you can have associated
Voice Lock cache files saved. Ownership may be unknown for networked files.
- `lazy-voice-lock-minimum-size'
-
*Minimum size of a buffer for demand-driven voiceification.
On-demand voiceification occurs if the buffer size is greater than this value.
If nil, means demand-driven voiceification is never performed.
If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SIZE),
where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
((c-mode . 25600) (c++-mode . 25600) (rmail-mode . 1048576))
means that the minimum size is 25K for buffers in C or C++ modes, one megabyte
for buffers in Rmail mode, and size is irrelevant otherwise.
The value of this variable is used when Lazy Lock mode is turned on.
- `lazy-voice-lock-defer-driven'
-
*If non-nil, means voiceification should be defer-driven.
If nil, means demand-driven voiceification is performed. This means when
scrolling into unvoiceified areas of the buffer, those areas are immediately
voiceified. Thus scrolling never presents unvoiceified areas. However, since
voiceification occurs during scrolling, scrolling may be slow.
If t, means defer-driven voiceification is performed. This means voiceification
of those areas is deferred. Thus scrolling may present momentarily unvoiceified
areas. However, since voiceification does not occur during scrolling, scrolling
will be faster than demand-driven voiceification.
If any other value, e.g., `eventually', means demand-driven voiceification is
performed until the buffer is voiceified, then buffer voiceification becomes
defer-driven. Thus scrolling never presents unvoiceified areas until the buffer
is first voiceified, after which subsequent scrolling may present future buffer
insertions momentarily unvoiceified. However, since voiceification does not
occur during scrolling after the buffer is first voiceified, scrolling will
become faster.
The value of this variable is used when Lazy Lock mode is turned on.
- `lazy-voice-lock-defer-time'
-
*Time in seconds to delay before beginning deferred voiceification.
Deferred voiceification occurs if there is no input within this time.
If nil, means voiceification is never deferred. However, voiceification occurs
on-the-fly or during scrolling, which may be slow.
If a list, it should be of the form (MAJOR-MODES . TIME), where MAJOR-MODES is
a list of `major-mode' symbols for which deferred voiceification should occur.
The sense of the list is negated if it begins with `not'. For example:
((c-mode c++-mode) . 0.25)
means that the deferral time is 0.25s for buffers in C or C++ modes, and
deferral does not occur otherwise.
The value of this variable is used when Lazy Lock mode is turned on.
- `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-time'
-
*Time in seconds to delay before beginning stealth voiceification.
Stealth voiceification occurs if there is no input within this time.
If nil, means stealth voiceification is never performed.
The value of this variable is used when Lazy Lock mode is turned on.
- `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-lines'
-
*Maximum size of a chunk of stealth voiceification.
Each iteration of stealth voiceification can voiceify this number of lines.
To speed up input response during stealth voiceification, at the cost of stealth
taking longer to voiceify, you could reduce the value of this variable.
- `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-nice'
-
*Time in seconds to pause between chunks of stealth voiceification.
Each iteration of stealth voiceification is separated by this amount of time.
To reduce machine load during stealth voiceification, at the cost of stealth
taking longer to voiceify, you could increase the value of this variable.
- `lazy-voice-lock-stealth-verbose'
-
*If non-nil, means stealth voiceification should show status messages.
- `voice-lock-verbose'
-
*If non-nil, means show status messages for buffer voiceification.
If a number, only buffers greater than this size have voiceification messages.
- `voice-lock-maximum-decoration'
-
*Maximum decoration level for voiceification.
If nil, use the default decoration (typically the minimum available).
If t, use the maximum decoration available.
If a number, use that level of decoration (or if not available the maximum).
If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . LEVEL),
where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
((c-mode . t) (c++-mode . 2) (t . 1))
means use the maximum decoration available for buffers in C mode, level 2
decoration for buffers in C++ mode, and level 1 decoration otherwise.
- `voice-lock-maximum-size'
-
*Maximum size of a buffer for buffer voiceification.
Only buffers less than this can be voiceified when Voice Lock mode is turned on.
If nil, means size is irrelevant.
If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SIZE),
where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
((c-mode . 256000) (c++-mode . 256000) (rmail-mode . 1048576))
means that the maximum size is 250K for buffers in C or C++ modes, one megabyte
for buffers in Rmail mode, and size is irrelevant otherwise.
- `voice-lock-keywords'
-
*A list of the keywords to highlight.
Each element should be of the form:
MATCHER
(MATCHER . MATCH)
(MATCHER . VOICENAME)
(MATCHER . HIGHLIGHT)
(MATCHER HIGHLIGHT ...)
(eval . FORM)
where HIGHLIGHT should be either MATCH-HIGHLIGHT or MATCH-ANCHORED.
FORM is an expression, whose value should be a keyword element, evaluated when
the keyword is (first) used in a buffer. This feature can be used to provide a
keyword that can only be generated when Voice Lock mode is actually turned on.
For highlighting single items, typically only MATCH-HIGHLIGHT is required.
However, if an item or (typically) items are to be highlighted following the
instance of another item (the anchor) then MATCH-ANCHORED may be required.
MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:
(MATCH VOICENAME OVERRIDE LAXMATCH)
Where MATCHER can be either the regexp to search for, or the function name to
call to make the search (called with one argument, the limit of the search).
MATCH is the subexpression of MATCHER to be highlighted. VOICENAME is an
expression whose value is the personality name to use. VOICENAME's default attributes
may be defined in `voice-lock-personality-attributes'.
OVERRIDE and LAXMATCH are flags. If OVERRIDE is t, existing voiceification may
be overwritten. If `keep', only parts not already voiceified are highlighted.
If `prepend' or `append', existing voiceification is merged with the new, in
which the new or existing voiceification, respectively, takes precedence.
If LAXMATCH is non-nil, no error is signaled if there is no MATCH in MATCHER.
For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
\
- `voice-lock-defaults'
-
If set by a major mode, should be the defaults for Voice Lock mode.
The value should be like the `cdr' of an item in `voice-lock-defaults-alist'.
- `voice-lock-keywords-only'
-
*Non-nil means Voice Lock should not voiceify comments or strings.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-keywords-case-fold-search'
-
*Non-nil means the patterns in `voice-lock-keywords' are case-insensitive.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-syntax-table'
-
Non-nil means use this syntax table for voiceifying.
If this is nil, the major mode's syntax table is used.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function'
-
*Non-nil means use this function to move back outside of a syntactic block.
When called with no args it should leave point at the beginning of any
enclosing syntactic block.
If this is nil, the beginning of the buffer is used (in the worst case).
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-mark-block-function'
-
*Non-nil means use this function to mark a block of text.
When called with no args it should leave point at the beginning of any
enclosing textual block and mark at the end.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-comment-start-regexp'
-
*Regexp to match the start of a comment.
This need not discriminate between genuine comments and quoted comment
characters or comment characters within strings.
If nil, `comment-start-skip' is used instead; see that variable for more info.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-voiceify-buffer-function'
-
Function to use for voiceifying the buffer.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-unvoiceify-buffer-function'
-
Function to use for unvoiceifying the buffer.
This is used when turning off Voice Lock mode.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-voiceify-region-function'
-
Function to use for voiceifying a region.
It should take two args, the beginning and end of the region, and an optional
third arg VERBOSE. If non-nil, the function should print status messages.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-unvoiceify-region-function'
-
Function to use for unvoiceifying a region.
It should take two args, the beginning and end of the region.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-inhibit-thing-lock'
-
List of Voice Lock mode related modes that should not be turned on.
Currently, valid mode names as `fast-voice-lock-mode' and `lazy-voice-lock-mode'.
This is normally set via `voice-lock-defaults'.
- `voice-lock-mode-hook'
-
Function or functions to run on entry to Voice Lock mode.
- `voice-lock-global-modes'
-
*Modes for which Voice Lock mode is automagically turned on.
Global Voice Lock mode is controlled by the `global-voice-lock-mode' command.
If nil, means no modes have Voice Lock mode automatically turned on.
If t, all modes that support Voice Lock mode have it automatically turned on.
If a list, it should be a list of `major-mode' symbol names for which Voice Lock
mode should be automatically turned on. The sense of the list is negated if it
begins with `not'. For example:
(c-mode c++-mode)
means that Voice Lock mode is turned on for buffers in C and C++ modes only.
- `voice-lock-support-mode'
-
*Support mode for Voice Lock mode.
Support modes speed up Voice Lock mode by being choosy about when voiceification
occurs. Known support modes are Fast Lock mode (symbol `fast-voice-lock-mode') and
Lazy Lock mode (symbol `lazy-voice-lock-mode'). See those modes for more info.
If nil, means support for Voice Lock mode is never performed.
If a symbol, use that support mode.
If a list, each element should be of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SUPPORT-MODE),
where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
((c-mode . fast-voice-lock-mode) (c++-mode . fast-voice-lock-mode) (t . lazy-voice-lock-mode))
means that Fast Lock mode is used to support Voice Lock mode for buffers in C or
C++ modes, and Lazy Lock mode is used to support Voice Lock mode otherwise.
The value of this variable is used when Voice Lock mode is turned on.
- `voice-lock-display-type'
-
A symbol indicating the display Emacs is running under.
The symbol should be one of `color', `grayscale' or `mono'.
If Emacs guesses this display attribute wrongly, either set this variable in
your `~/.emacs' or set the resource `Emacs.displayType' in your `~/.Xdefaults'.
See also `voice-lock-background-mode' and `voice-lock-personality-attributes'.
- `voice-lock-background-mode'
-
A symbol indicating the Emacs background brightness.
The symbol should be one of `light' or `dark'.
If Emacs guesses this frame attribute wrongly, either set this variable in
your `~/.emacs' or set the resource `Emacs.backgroundMode' in your
`~/.Xdefaults'.
See also `voice-lock-display-type' and `voice-lock-personality-attributes'.
- `voice-lock-personality-attributes'
-
A list of default attributes to use for personality attributes.
Each element of the list should be of the form
(VOICE FOREGROUND BACKGROUND BOLD-P ITALIC-P UNDERLINE-P)
where VOICE should be one of the personality symbols `voice-lock-comment-personality',
`voice-lock-string-personality', `voice-lock-keyword-personality', `voice-lock-type-personality',
`voice-lock-function-name-personality', `voice-lock-variable-name-personality', and
`voice-lock-reference-personality'. A form for each of these personality symbols should be
provided in the list, but other personality symbols and attributes may be given and
used in highlighting. See `voice-lock-keywords'.
Subsequent element items should be the attributes for the corresponding
Voice Lock mode personalities. Attributes FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND should be strings
\(default if nil), while BOLD-P, ITALIC-P, and UNDERLINE-P should specify the
corresponding personality attributes (yes if non-nil).
Emacs uses default attributes based on display type and background brightness.
See variables `voice-lock-display-type' and `voice-lock-background-mode'.
Resources can be used to over-ride these personality attributes. For example, the
resource `Emacs.voice-lock-comment-personality.attributeUnderline' can be used to
specify the UNDERLINE-P attribute for personality `voice-lock-comment-personality'.

Emacspeak is being actively developed by me. That is, I implement
features as I need them.
<to be written>
There are also some variables that may be useful if you are writing a
program or function that interacts with Emacspeak.
<to be written>
<to be written>
I have done quite a bit of work trying to make a semi-clean interface to
the internals of Emacspeak. Here is a list of functions that you can use to
take advantage of these features.
Emacspeak would not have come about without the following people:
Dave Wecker who goaded me into writing this package.
Hans Chalupsky whose advice package makes Emacspeak work.

Footnotes
I currently use Emacspeak under Linux as the only speech feedback on my
laptop; I also run Emacspeak at work on my DECALPHA workstation both
under a vt100 as well as under X.
Control e is mnemonic for Emacspeak.
d is mnemonic for Dectalk.
