What does this mean? Does this mean that Emacspeak is aimed at computers
rather than humans?
I thought it made all sense that it had to be customizable such that
there had to be an option for toggling continuous reading and continuous
speech without cursor movement. However, I feel that speech moving along
with cursor makes sense rather than to make Emacs like a music player
where you have to listen and not care where the cursor is at the moment.
But even with a music player, there is an option to pause and resume
where you left off. With Emacspeak though, you can't resume where speech
was last delivered.
And it gets confusing.
Thanks.
