Notes about this Emacspeak package:

First, this package includes a convenient utility for configuring
Emacspeak to work with your synthesizer, called emacspeakconfig.  Run
it as root and it will guide you through the process.  Or, ifyou like,
configure your synthesizer in the traditional way (see documentation
for details).  Thanks to Jim Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com> for
providing permission to include the emacspeakconfig utility in this
package.

In addition, if you have IBM ViaVoice Outloud for Linux, you can
easily set up Emacspeak's outloud speech server.  Simply change to the
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/linux-outloud directory, and as
root, type "make".  Note that you will need to configure Emacspeak in
the traditional way if you wish to use the outloud server, or start
Emacspeak with the following command:  emacspeak -o

See /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/linux-outloud/NOTES for more
information on the outloud server for Emacspeak.  To add support for
hardware synthesizers other than the DECtalk, install the emacspeak-ss
package.
