Hi, Emacspeak will allow you to use Viavoice which will let you run everything via sound card. However, both have advantages/disadvantages. For example if you will be working with Dismal Emacspeak 15 works great with it where Speakup really has troubles.However, with things like pine and links or lynx speakup excels at those apps. Emacspeak lets you read entire text files with a say all mode where speakup will only let you read one screen at a time. These are just differences that they have. So I tend to use both for maximum effect. Just depends on what it is I am doing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anna Schneider <annas@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 1:55 AM Subject: Re: Questions about programs under Linux. > And this is in response to Evonne. > > Speak Up and Emacs Speak.
