EmacsSpeak
I have gotten EmacSpeak, Embrola and Embrola Server to work.
Yes I know independence should be de emphasizing emacs in
favor of simpler tools but for a blind person it's the least
expensive way to use a computer ( $ 15 sound card VS $ 900
hardware synthesizer :).
These are the files to do it. Of course you must have sound
working before and Emacs 20.3 must be installed. The hard
part is to make it so a particular user account ( I.e. a
template user ) will have 'emacspeak' added to his ~/.bashrc
1) The Emacspeak package:
