Getting Started
by Richard Wells
Hello: My name is Richard wells. I have been hearing about this
environment for many years but have never investigated it for myself.
For someone like me who has no idea at all where to go to get started,
how would you suggest I begin learning? My experience with computers has
been diverse with some Linux, but mostly Microsoft Windows and Apple
Macintosh. Please be gentle with a user with absolutely no idea of what
emacspeak is and how to get productive using it.

issue with next and prev headings in org-mode
by bart＠bunting.net.au
Hi everyone,
I am struggling to chase down an odd problem with emacspeak and org-mode.
Using git bisect I have narrowed it to the following commit:
b5c546e9597abddf701b4d28c1d5c9293946ab6f
The issue appears to be that when using c-c c-n or c-c c-p to move between
headings the following error is thrown:
Symbol's value as variable is void: outline-navigation-repeat-map
From my digging it appears that outline-navigation-repeat-map is defined in
emacspeak-outline-setup-keys but I don't understand what the issue here is.
Any input would be appreciated.
Diff below.
I am using a quite minimal config and have tested with org 9.3 and latest
9.6 pre which appears to make no difference.
bart@bzi:~/emacs/src/emacspeak$ git bisect bad
b5c546e9597abddf701b4d28c1d5c9293946ab6f is the first bad commit

Emacspeak And Dectalk History
by T.V Raman
Browsing through the DECTalk sources on Github, I discovered my
original Emacspeak Software Dectalk server here:
https://github.com/dectalk/dectalk/blob/develop/src/samplosf/src/emacspea...
Note: What is checked into the Emacspeak Git repo is a much later (and
much simpler/simplified)implementation --- the one pointed to above
was never released as Open Source (which meant I lost access to it
after Oct 1995 when I left Digital) -- it was released as part of
Digital's UNIX between 1995 and 1999 or so from memory.
The above implementation is "interesting" in that it implements
spatial audio (azimuth and elevation) as part of the call-in into the
Software Dectalk library -- suspect it can still be made to work if
someone took the time to update some of that implementation to match
what is available on today's Linux systems in terms of libs.
At present I get somewhat equivalent effects on Pulse via my
default.pa for Pulseaudio -- but the spatial audio in that DTK server
is much more fine-grained in terms of control.
anyway that code brings back lots of good memories -- you can also
see when I started implementing it by browsing the revision history in
those files.
The Bithub site even contains snapshots of Emacspeak elisp files that
might likely predate the first public release in April 1995.

minimum version for current emacspeak
by prayner＠unimelb.edu.au
I'm about to update OS and hence many applications, including emacs.
I'll also update to the latest emacspeak so I'd prefer to choose a
compatible emacs. What's the minimum required now, 28 or does 27 still
work?
thanks in advance
Peter

Corfu With Emacpseak?

<#org9ac7898>
Hello,
Has anyone here tried using Corfu with Emacspeak? When I tried it this
morning, I discovered the following:
1. The package does do completions, but they are not yet spoken.
2. If I have the documentation turned on, Emacspeak will read the
docstring, but not the item that is actually being completed.
3. When Corfu is suggesting candidates, Emacspeak plays the progress
indicator sound.
Here is the configuration I am using to get Corfu going (note I am using
straight.el as the package manager, running Emacspeak from git sources).
(use-package corfu
:custom (corfu-cycle t)
(corfu-auto t)
(corfu-auto-prefix 2)
(corfu-auto-delay 0.0)
:config
(global-corfu-mode 1))
(use-package corfu-doc
:hook (corfu-mode . corfu-doc-mode))
If anyone has gotten this to work, I would be interested to know which
functions you had to advise or what hooks to look into.
Thanks,
Hunter
