EMACSPEAK 41 (586) Release News
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2015 1:03 pm
LinuxBBQ is happy to announce the immediate availability of Emacspeak 41 (NiceDog). Designed to be run as a live session, it gives visually impaired and blind users the opportunity to interactively communicate with a computer and the internet. This release has a strong focus on quick web search and improved Google integration.
Emacspeak is written by TV Raman. Kudos to you, good Sir!
Learn more about the NiceDog release here: http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/releas ... -41.0.html
After start-up, the user is greeted with the Emacspeak status messages verbally via espeak, and a welcome screen is presented.
The release can be easily installed by visually impaired or blind users, as root, using
where sdX is the drive to install to, and sdXY is the partition.
Of course there is also the traditional ncurses-driven "bbqinstaller".
LinuxBBQ has added a number of tools with Emacs integration:
- a working .emacs file with wanderlust, erc, org-mode/agenda, multi-term, EMMS, access to MELPA/Marmalade and more
- an organizer file for time management
- Getting Things Done integration (M-x gtd)
Modules:
- swr.el for one-click German radio live streams
- power-management in pm.el (M-x reboot/shutdown/suspend)
- automatic mount of all partitions in automount.el (M-x automount)
Visually impaired or blind users can enable network access without ceni:
find your network devices as root using
and edit the file /etc/network/interfaces as root (C-x C-f /sudo::/etc/network/interfaces), in which you add something like
for dynamic configuration of the ethernet card. Bring it up with "ifup name-of-the-device"
The ncurses-driven ceni network configurator is included and can be started as root from a standard TTY shell (Alt-left/right arrow)
