Anybody still use YASR

[Alonzo Cuellar]

I've tried emacs with a graphical end.  If you have emacspeak to load in 
your ~/.emacs it will load in the x environment and will speak to you.

I'm not an emacs user... But I thought I'd share my findings.

In my ~/.emacs I have the following

(load-file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")

Once then if I open emacs in x it starts speaking.

I also have the DTK_PROGRAM=espeak

in ~/.bashrc
