Here are the quick installation instructions. See the next section for detailed installation instructions.
Packages for Linux distributions such as Debian typically become available on the WWW a few weeks or months after a new version is released. The instructions below are for building and installing Emacspeak from the source distribution. If you install one of the prepackaged distributions, use the install instructions that come with that package.
git clone https://github.com/tvraman/emacspeak
emacspeak
directory.cd servers/native-espeak make
DTK_PROGRAM
. If using bash
as your shell, add the line
export DTK_PROGRAM=<engine-name>
to your .bash_profile
.
As an example, to use ESpeak, add
export DTK_PROGRAM=espeak
(load-file "<emacspeak-dir>/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")
to the top of your .emacs file.
In the above, <emacspeak-dir> refers to the directory where you unpacked the sources.
