hi, I've been listening on this list for a while now. I'm not sure that this is the correct place to ask this, but not sure where else to ask. I am blind and use emacs 20.3 with dr t.v.raman's emacspeak package (a a speech subsystem for emacs) to do all my work. I have been interested in porting emacspeak across to xemacs for a while, In fact, I did manage to get it running a couple of years ago, i think on version 19.15. Things seem to have changed significantly between then and now and it's beyond my lisp ability to make it work under the current version. I was wondering if anyone on the list may have time to take a look and see how much would be envolved in getting emacspeak running under xemacs? Emacspeak is designed to work with a hardware speech synthesizer, but i've hacked up a little package which lets it use "mbrola" a software based synth for it's speech output. while it's not as good as a hardware based synth, it does the job. In fact, for testing it would pretty well be enough if all the lisp compiled, then I'd be able to continue testing from that point. if anyone's interested in giving it a shot, the latest version of emacspeak (10.0) can be downloaded from: the blinux archive http://www.leb.net/blinux in the repository section under the emacspeak directory. if there is a better place to ask for help, could someone point me in the right direction?
