2.1 Installation

speechd-el installation consists of the following steps:

  1. Install the ‘eieio’ Elisp library, available from http://cedet.sourceforge.net/eieio.shtml or perhaps your favorite operating system distribution.
  2. Copy the speechd-el ‘*.el’ files contained in the distribution package somewhere to your Emacs load path.
  3. If you like, byte compile the ‘*.el’ files. Byte compilation is recommended, because it speeds up speechd-el significantly. You can byte compile the ‘*.el’ files using the command
     
    make compile

    Then install the compiled files to an Emacs load path location as well.

  4. Install the ‘speechd-log-extractor’ somewhere to your shell PATH, e.g. ‘/usr/local/bin/’. Installing this script is optional, it is used only for bug reporting.
  5. Add the following lines to your ‘~/.emacs’:
     
    (autoload 'speechd-speak "speechd-speak" nil t)

To receive speech output, Speech Dispatcher must be installed and running. Speech Dispatcher version 0.5 or higher is recommended.

To receive Braille output, BRLTTY must be installed and running. BRLTTY version 3.7 or higher is required.
