Very true. In fact, if you run Ubuntu 14.04, there may even be a
single command for Emacs/Emacspeak.
sudo apt-get install emacspeak
Check the version first to make sure it's not some antequated one like
version 29 or something:
apt-cache show emacspeak
If it's 36 or 38 or something, you should be OK.
