At the time I write this in May 2005, I am running two instances of
Emacspeak, one using the eflite software text-to-speech
synthesizer and the other using the espeakf software
text-to-speech synthesizer.
The current espeakf provides different voices, which my current
version of eflite lacks. Also, in my set up, it sometimes
speaks pronunciation when it should not; but not always.
I prefer espeakf.
At the moment, I am using two different Emacspeak commands, one for
starting Emacspeak with eflite and the other for starting Emacspeak
with espeakf. Right now, I am running both, each as its own instance
of Emacspeak.
The two starting commands are:
emacspeak-eflite emacspeak-espeak
The two commands are shell scripts in the /usr/local/bin/ directory.
The regular Emacspeak command is in the /usr/bin/ directory, but since these two commands are experimental, I am putting them into the /usr/local/bin/ directory, to remind me that I created them locally.
(Incidentally, I am also running two other non-Emacspeak instances of Emacs: an experimental Emacs version 22 owned by user ‘bob’, and an Emacs version 20.7 owned by user ‘root’. That way, I separate dangerous system administration task from ordinary work.)
