Re: anybody here using emacspeak in Debian
I* use it when I can get it installed and set up properly. Debian is
the only system in my recent memory where an emacspeak install went
without problems. It's because the speech servers first get installed,
then the install script runs and gets the user to select the speech
server, then finally the rest of the installation happens.
