Hello,
I tried this by going into my emacspeak folder, find the file and then changing the value. It did not work to stop the message. I still see messages like this line is 869 long. Do you want emacspeak to read it? What else might I try to stop this? I edited the file in a normal editor and not from within emacs.

Hello all,
When I am editing a document I created on my Mac, I keep getting a
message saying something about this line has X number of characters do
you want emacspeak to read the line. This is happening on just about
every line of the document. How can I get it to stop or can I even get
it to stop? I am using emacs with emacspeak on a M1 14 inch macbook
pro.

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!


Thanks,
Greg Wocher
