linux newbie questions

["Mike Reiser" <metalhead1009000@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

 

I'm using ubuntu linux on a vm and want to try emacspeak.  I've been using orca and have a few questions.  1.  After I download the tar file and compile it, will it use espeak by default?  If not what do I need to do to get it to do this?  2.  Will I be able to use emacspeak along side orca?  3.  How do I start emacspeak?  Do I just type it at the terminal prompt?  I'm asking here because it seems like the documentation on the site hasn't been updated in a few years and wanted to know if there was anything I should know about running it on ubuntu.  I just thought I'd try to learn emacspeak also and see if I liked it better then orca.  Thanks,

 

Mike
