As an experiment, try moving up and down in the buffer using C-n/C-p rather than the arrow keys. Also, see what happens when you use pgup/pgdown and various other emacspeak commands, like speaking the line, paragraph, etc. Are you running any additional packages? There have been a lot of posts about various 'canned' configuration packages available in various elpa repositories of late i.e. emacs-starterkit, better-defaults, etc. I've experimented with a few of these and have found some of them break emacspeak in 'interesting' ways. I don't expect this is your issue, but mention it just in case (for example, I tried one recently which prevented emacspeak from speaking fired buffer lines). I would also try turning off font-lock mode in the info buffer. I've found the eSpeak server doesn't deal with font-lock stuff well. I've played around with the server a bit and in the version I was running, I had disabled the multispeech support and removed some of the calls to reset eSpeak and a few other calls to make the server a bit more responsive. The eSpeak software doesn't really have the functionality to handle changes in voices like ViaVoice and I suspect attempts to mimic that behaviour has significant performance impact - but this is really just subjective guesswork on may part, which is why I've never submitted patches or improvements.

I do recall having to recompile my own eSpeak under Ubuntu to use the runtime option, but this was to keep it from dropping the last syllable or two being spoken. With this problem, I'm only getting the first syllable or two. In vinux, eSpeak uses the runtime option by default, so there's no need to recompile eSpeak to avoid this problem. I don't have the problem where I'm losing the last syllable or two, but in info mode, and only info mode, when running on the desktop, I do have this problem where I only get the first syllable or two spoken as I arrow up and down the screen. I don't have this problem in the console. > > On 10/13/2013 04:26 AM, Tim Cross wrote: >> >> I'm running latest emacspeak 38 (from svn) on both Ubuntu 13.04 (Gnome remix) and OS X Mountain Lion with no problems using C-h i.

However, I do vaguely remember having something similar happen with speak, which I fixed by re-compiling it from sources and configuring it to use pulse audio rather than using the default speak package which comes with Ubuntu. >> >> >> Tim >> >> -- >> Tim Cross >> IT Security Manager, Information Technology >> University of New England >> Armidale N.Sl.W. 2350 >> >> Email: tcross@xxxxxxxxxxx >> Phone: +61 2 6773 3210 >> Mobile: +61 428 212 217 >> >> On 12/10/2013, at 11:51 PM, Christopher Chaltain <chaltain@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> I'm running Emacs 24.3 with Emacspeak 38.0 on a Ubuntu 12.04 system (Vinux 4 specifically). If I run Emacs on the desktop and start info mode then I only hear the first few syllables of each line. If I start Emacs up in the console then everything is fine. >>> >>> On 10/12/2013 04:39 AM, Lubos Pintes wrote: >>>> Hello, >>>> What exactly would happen when one fires `C-h i' command? >>>> Does Emacspeak in general work correctly in this case? >>>> In my speech server I am developing, nothing is said, but a lot of >>>> messages are queued.
