Re: Turning Off voice-lock mode When Emacspeak Starts

[Haden Pike <haden.pike@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Tyler here.  I use the mac speech server and the Alex 
voice.  It'll be happily reading my code at normal pitch and volume, 
then suddenly pause for a second and read some text in a very bad 
imitation of James Earl Jones, then pause for a millisecond or so and go 
back to normal.  Maybe it's because I spent the past six or so years 
programming in Windows, but that just completely destroys my concentration.

Another annoyance is when you switch to a new buffer and Emacspeak reads 
the mode line, sounding like it's just inhaled a bag of helium and with 
a strange little echo tone to it.  I assumed voice-lock was what 
controlled all of this, which is why I set out to find how to turn it off.
