2.4.9 Index marking

Reading a text with index marking means the cursor is moved over the text as the text is read, whenever an inserted index mark is reached. Index marking is switched off by default but you can set it up for speechd-speak-read-buffer and speechd-speak-read-rest-of-buffer commands using the following variables:

speechd-speak-use-index-marks

If non-nil, index marking is enabled for speechd-speak-read-buffer and speechd-speak-read-rest-of-buffer commands.

speechd-speak-index-mark-regexp

Regular expression defining the places where to put index marks to. An index mark is put at the end of the regexp at each of the places. If the regular expression is empty (the default), it’s taken from sentence-end variable. If sentence-end is nil, a default regular expression matching common punctuation is used.
