This means that it will turn contents of emacs buffers into speech. However, it is not a speech recongition system, so it cannot respond to spoken commands or any form of speech input. There have been posts regarding this in the past, but I have no real information. The last time I looked at this sort of thing, sphinx2 was suggested as a general speech recognition interface for Linux. IBM also had a version of thier ViaVoice Dictation speech recognition interface, but I don't know what the status of that is. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
