Introduction Emacspeak is a Linux application that allows users to get synthesized speech output inside the Emacs desktop environment. Because Emacspeak is actually integrated into the Emacs environment (instead of just running "on top" of an environment like most screen readers), Emacspeak provides much more con- text-specific information than its commercial screen reader counterparts. In this sense, Emacspeak is not a "screen reader," but rather a subsystem of Emacs that produces speech output. Although Emacspeak only works inside Emacs, there are a large number of both built-in and add-on ap- plications for Emacs that do everything from keeping track of your appointments to playing CDs to coding HTML. In addition, Emacs has a special command shell mode that can be used to run any command-line application. This HOWTO focuses on installing Emacspeak on your Linux system. It does not discuss how to actually use Emacs or Emacspeak - for information on usage, refer to the Emacspeak User's Guide, available at http://www.tldp.org/guides.html#espk. Documentation Conventions As per the LDP Author Guide, this HOWTO uses the following documentation conventions: File Names: file.extension Commands to be typed: command Command prompt: > (unless otherwise specified) Requirements There are a number of things you must have before you install Emacspeak, including Linux, a Linux-com- patible sound card, Emacs, and a hardware or software speech synthesizer. You should read this section carefully before installing Emacspeak, because Emacspeak will not function correctly if any of the re- quirements are missing. Linux Distributions This HOWTO assumes that you have already installed Linux on your system. If not, you may wish to refer to the "Linux Information Sheet" by Michael K. Johnson a http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IN- FO-SHEET.html. It provides an introduction to Linux, discusses some hardware requirements, and also has a section on how to obtain Linux. There are a number of different Linux distributions (distros) that you can choose from. All of the distros are based upon the same basic Linux code, or kernel, but each distro has a different installation process, features, and support options. Martin Wheeler's "Distributions HOWTO," at http://www.linuxdoc.org/ 2 Installing Emacspeak HOWTO HOWTO/Distributions-HOWTO/index.html, discusses the pros and cons of a number of Linux distros. You can also find information about each distribution on their respective web sites. Those distros known to support Emacspeak are listed below with their URLs: • Debian Linux - http://www.debian.org • Mandrake Linux - http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ • Red Hat Linux - http://www.redhat.com • Slackware Linux - http://www.slackware.com • SuSE Linux - http://www.suse.com • TurboLinux - http://www.turbolinux.com All of the distributions listed above can be downloaded free of charge from their respective web sites. However, the downloads are quite large, so you'll need a fast Internet connection. You will also need access to a CD burner, to burn your own CDs from the images you download. Depending on the distribution, you may also have to download and make a boot floppy. Once you have burned the CDs and created the boot floppy, you can install Linux. Alternatively, you can purchase the disks at your local computer store for between $30 and $80 US. Both of these options are discussed at length in the Linux Installation HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO/overview.html, so you may want to refer there before making a decision as to which route to take. Most methods of installation require sighted assistance. However, if you prefer to install Linux yourself, there are two options. The first is to install Linux from a DOS machine running JAWS. This option requires two machines, a null modem cable, JAWS for DOS, and a hardware speech synthesizer. More information on this option can be found in, Appendix A. The second option is installing one of the distributions that includes a Speakup kernel patch. This option requires a Speakup-enabled distro and a hardware synthesizer. Speakup is a screen reader that is patched into the kernel, so it starts talking at boot and will speak during the entire installation. Currently, Speakup is supported on Debian, Red Hat 7.1, and Slackware. The Speakup option also requires you to download the CD images and make your own CDs. Refer to the Speakup home page at http://www.linux-speakup.org for instructions for this option. For assistance with installing Linux, Eric Raymond's Linux Installation HOWTO, at http:// www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Installation-HOWTO, is highly recommended reading. In the HOWTO, Eric discusses hardware requirements, choosing a distro, and installing your distro of choice. If Eric's HOWTO does not provide enough installation-specific information, you can refer to the documentation specific to your distribution, available at the URLs given in the distro list. Emacs Because Emacspeak is an Emacs subsystem, you must have Emacs installed for Emacspeak to work. Most distributions include Emacs by default, so it should be installed on your system when you install Linux. If you do not have Emacs on your system or you want to check on the latest version of Emacs, refer to the Emacs homepage at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html. If you install Emacs on your own or choose to upgrade, be sure to install all of Emacs, including both the X and non-X versions (even if you do not plan to use X). Some Emacs applications depend on packages included in the X version, even if you use those applications in the non-X version of Emacs. If you would like to learn more about Emacs and how to use it, an excellent place

  • TEX Documents with AUCTEX in Emacs
    Writing (LA)TEX documents with AUCTEX in Emacs David Kastrup dak (at) gnu dot org Abstract At the time of the abstract deadline, several pretest versions of Emacs 22 have been made available, and the final release is even more imminent than the last few years. However, most GNU/Linux distributions already have made developer versions of Emacs available as snapshots. Users meeting their typesetting needs mostly withLATEX will profit from moving to such versions from the rather an- cient Emacs 21.4 because of extensive improvements of the provided desktop and editing environment. A number of newly supported version control systems, thumbnail-supported browsing of directories with graphics files, considerably improved Unicode sup- port for editing, desktop interaction and input, syntax highlighting activated by default, new ports for Windows, Mac OS X and GTK+ using the native toolkits for graphic support and toolbars and providing a native, well integrated look for those desktop environments, transparent access to files accessible with su, sudo, ssh and other shell accounts: those provide, among numerous improved details and fixes, quite a bit of progress for using Emacs as a work environment. Focusing on the creation of LATEX documents, the AUCTEX editing package maintained by the speaker is the most extensively used editing solution for TEX and Emacs, providing previewed material integrated into the source code window with preview-latex, support of source specials and the pdfsync package for lowe- ring the barrier between source code and final output, and delivering a number of ways for formatting and organizing the source code. Syntax highlighting and folding of various constructs and comments render source code more managea- ble.

    日英 2 ヶ国語 Emacs 音声化システム BEP によるLinux の音声利用 Development of BEP, Emacs with Japanese-English Text-to-speech Feedback, and Use of Linux by the Japanese Visually Impaired 渡辺 隆行 1) 切明 政憲 2) Takayuki WATANABE Masanori KIRIAKE 1) 東京女子大学現代文化学部コミュニケーション学科 （〒167-8585 東京都杉並区善福寺 2-6-1 E-mail: [email protected] ） 2) ARGV (Accessibility Reseach Group for the Visually-impaired)（ E-mail: [email protected] ） ABSTRACT. BEP (Bilingual Emacspeak Platform), which adds a speech feedback to GNU Emacs, is a bilingual text-to-speech system for persons with visual disability (mainly for those who are totally blind). BEP automatically switches Japanese text-to-speech engines and English ones depending on the language to be read aloud. In addition to that switching capability, the system can pronounce English with native speakers’ pronunciation or with Japanese-English pronunciation, which makes it easier for Japanese users to comprehend English speech output. This paper describes (1) the functions of language identification, (2) the application of proper pronunciation according to the text, and (3) the structure of the bilingual speech server running under Linux. 1 計されているため英語を正しく音声化することが苦手であ 背景 り，ローマ字を正しく読めるシステムも少ない．したがっ MS-DOS は文字でコマンドを入力し文字で情報が出力 て，ローマ字や日英 2 ヶ国語が混在した情報を正確に又わ される OS であったので視覚障害者にも使いやすい OS かりやすく音声化できるシステムも必要とされている． であった．1990 年代に入ると初心者にも使いやすい GUI 2 目的 (Graphical User Interface) を持った Windows が登場し た．Windows は最新の技術がいち早く導入される反面， そこで我々はこのような視覚障害者の要求を満たす音 ウインドウ・アイコン・メニュー・ポインタなどの GUI 部 声化システムを開発するために，1999 年に晴眼者と視覚 品による操作を前提にしている場合が多いので Windows 障害者が個人資格で集まったオープンソースのプロジェ
