Of course.  This is emacs, after all.

Found in the info manual under 5.2 Working In Emacs Buffers:

   *  Emacspeak commands for listening to chunks of information.  The
     names  of these commands all start with the common prefix
     `emacspeak-speak-'.  All Emacspeak commands are bound to the
     keymap EMACSPEAK-KEYMAP and are accessed with the key  `Control
     e'(1).  Thus,  the Emacspeak command "emacspeak-speak-line" is
     bound to `l' in  keymap EMACSPEAK-KEYMAP and can be accessed with
     the keystroke  `Control-e l'.  If for some reason you wish to use
     some key other  than `control-e' as the common keyboard prefix for
     all Emacspeak  commands, set the variable EMACSPEAK-PREFIX.

Watch that caps-lock key, brother,
