While typing in an Emacs buffer, hitting space speaks the recently typed
word. I use completion all the time; so Emacspeak will speak the
completion just inserted as well as the next possible completion.
In Emacs, use load-library ret completion ret
for loading
the completion package.
The standard Emacs prompting functions have also been speech-enabled. Emacs prompts with available lists of completions in response to partial input wherever appropriate —all forms of 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-speak-
. All Emacspeak commands are bound to the
keymap emacspeak-keymap and are accessed with the key
Control e1. 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.
dtk-
and are bound in keymap
emacspeak-dtk-submap.
You can access these commands via the prefix Control-e d2.
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
