Hi all,
I have been looking in the docs to see if there is a way to read
continuously, as in a large document. I have come into possession of
several etexts and I want to read them continuously, but I want to
stop and restart the reading. These are long books that require
stopping in the middle. Is there a way to stop continuous reading,
and then go back to a given point within a file at a later date, pick
up the reading and continue on? I found this paragraph in the
emacspeak docs for 14, but it is unclear as to what to type when
prompted. Can anybody explain this?
Here is the stuff I was reading. I hope this isn't a dumb question.
I am reading the documentation, but I don't understand what I am
reading.
** emacspeak-speak-continuously Key Sequence: control e RETURN
Speak a buffer continuously.
First prompts using the minibuffer for the kind of action to perform after
speaking each chunk.
E.G. speak a line at a time etc.
Speaking commences at current buffer position.
Pressing C-g breaks out, leaving point on last chunk that was spoken.
Any other key continues to speak the buffer.
In short folks, I want something that will behave like Readit. I want
to be able to read long files in Linux and I want to stop and start
and be able to go back to where I was. Please help.
Ann P.
