If you run emacs in the terminal, you might need to pass the argument -nw to it, to make sure it starts up in text-mode. Emacspeak should work fine in a text-mode emacs session, at least that is how I was using it several years ago. If you have a patched screen and run emacs -nw inside of it, BRLTTY should be able to see the screen content and present it to the user. P.S.: I'd be interested where setting up Emacspeak for Mac is documented? I might want to do that on my Mac as well. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
