control e control c
Copy contents of the region to the emacspeak clipboard. Previous contents of the clipboard will be overwritten. The Emacspeak clipboard is a convenient way of sharing information between independent Emacspeak sessions running on the same or different machines. Do not use this for sharing information within an Emacs session –Emacs' register commands are far more efficient and light-weight. Optional interactive prefix arg results in Emacspeak prompting for the clipboard file to use. Argument START and END specifies region. Optional argument PROMPT specifies whether we prompt for the name of a clipboard file.
control e control y
Yank contents of the Emacspeak clipboard at point. The Emacspeak clipboard is a convenient way of sharing information between independent Emacspeak sessions running on the same or different machines. Do not use this for sharing information within an Emacs session –Emacs' register commands are far more efficient and light-weight. Optional interactive prefix arg pastes from the emacspeak table clipboard instead.
control e meta c

Switch to this buffer as displayed in a different frame. Emacs allows you to display the same buffer in multiple windows or frames. These different windows can display different portions of the buffer. This is equivalent to leaving a book open at places at once. This command allows you to move to the places where you have left the book open. The number used to invoke this command specifies which of the displays you wish to select. Typically you will have two or at most three such displays open. The current display is 0, the next is 1, and so on. Optional argument ARG specifies the display to select.

Invoke shell COMMAND and display its output as a table. The results are placed in a buffer in Emacspeak's table browsing mode. Optional interactive prefix arg as-root runs the command as root. Use this for running shell commands that produce tabulated output. This command should be used for shell commands that produce tabulated output that works with Emacspeak's table recognizer. Verify this first by running the command in a shell and executing command `emacspeak-table-display-table-in-region' normally bound to C-e TAB.
Not bound to any key.

Speak this buffer as displayed in a different frame. Emacs allows you to display the same buffer in multiple windows or frames. These different windows can display different portions of the buffer. This is equivalent to leaving a book open at places at once. This command allows you to listen to the places where you have left the book open. The number used to invoke this command specifies which of the displays you wish to speak. Typically you will have two or at most three such displays open. The current display is 0, the next is 1, and so on. Optional argument ARG specifies the display to speak.
