In this essay, I suggest how to introduce Emacspeak to someone new, and I discuss some of the notions behind GNU Emacs, which underlies Emacspeak.

In addition, the essay contains some comments on two software text-to-speech synthesizers and one method of installation.

This essay is about Emacspeak and how to introduce it to a friend. It is not a substitute for the Emacspeak manual, but an addendum.
