Has anyone used emacspeak and how reliable is it.
I live in a country where 95% of the people cannot afford to own a
computer.However they can afford to make a local telephone call.I
thought of using Linux to offer an e-mail service where people could
call into an e-mail server and listen to their e-mail.It was suggested
that besides various Linux services like
cron - to start the show
pppd - to log on to the net (probably in demand dial mode)
fetchmail - to get the email
procmail - to filter the incomming email through the text-speech thing
text-speech-thingy - to convert the email to speech
vgetty - to ring you and "read" the mail to you
various shell scripts - to make it happen a little easier
(Thanks Steve Youngs)
that would have to be set up emacspeak would also likely do the job.Can
anyone share their experiences of emacspeak and can something like ths
work....realistickly OR am I just dreaming...
