g'day evryone,
i've got a suggestion on how emacspeak's ispell interface could be improved.

scenario:
you have miss spelled several words at the end of a very long line.
you use one of the ispell commands e.g. ispell-region or ispell-buffer.
emacspeak reads you the entire line, which may consist of several sentences.
it repeats the entire line for evry word that is miss  spelled.

is it possible to have a variable which specifies the maximum number of words to read before the miss spelled word?
so you could set it to say 10, you usually get enough contextual information with about ten words.

is this another one of those things that would be hard to implement because of the interface to ispell?

just an idea.

Bart
