Disclaimer: my emacspeak version  isn't uup to date... but works
perfectly.

Have a look at this customizable setting that you can  adjust to your
taste.

ems--speak-max-line is a variable defined in ‘emacspeak-speak.el’.

Its value is 2000
Original value was 512

Threshold for determining ‘long’ lines.
Emacspeak will ask for confirmation before speaking lines
that are longer than this length.  This is to avoid accidentally
opening a binary file and torturing the speech synthesizer
with a long string of gibberish.

  Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
  You can customize this variable.


Enjoy!
