5.5.1 Character, Word And Line Echo.

By default, Emacspeak speaks characters as they are typed –this is called character echo; Words are spoken as they are completed –this is called word echo. Emacspeak can also optionally speak each line as it is typed –this is called line echo.

Character, word and line echo can be toggled –either in the current buffer– or for all buffers (globally). To toggle the specific echo functionality for all buffers, precede the specific command with C-u. Note that in the documentation below, this use of C-u is indicated using the common Emacs terminology of prefix arg or interactive prefix arg.
