RE: how to read all and make the point follow spoken text



Hi,

If you want to read by screenful, use control v and alt v or, c-v and m-v in Emacs jargon.  Another way to ready by largish chunks is control right and left brace.  You can also use read to end of buffer.  Haven't used that one in a while so, I may be wrong but I think it's c-e b.  You might want to spend some time exploring the emacspeak help documentation c-e c-h and a beginners tutorial on navigating through Emacs itself.  It should answer most of your navigation questions.  

Thanks.
Alex M

Subject: how to read all and make the point follow spoken text

Hi

When I read a book using Orca, I open it in text editor, currently gedit. Then I launch say all command. When I come to a point, where I need repeating or more caution, I press Ctrl. This makes the speaking stop and I can navigate single words or letters. I am looking for a similar functionality in emacspeak. I think I cannot find anything similar in emacspeak manual. Did I miss something?

Which command do you suggest do read books?

I think the book should be read in big chunks, like pages or whole buffers, with a possiblity to stop at some points. With my current knowledge it seems that I have to read sentence by sentence and press a command key for each sentence (moving the point explicitly to next sentence). I hope I'm wrong :)

Thanks in advance
Jarek
