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



C-e n is read rest of buffer. This doesn't support indexing for me though, so I'm not sure this is what Jarek is looking for.

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.

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
