(speechd-speak-last-insertions
). That is the text read in
auto-reading buffers, see See Auto-Reading Buffers.
A few Emacs commands get you stuck in a character reading prompt, a
typical example is ispell-word
. If you miss what was read
before you are prompted for action, you can use the following
keystrokes at the prompt to repeat the output texts:
The same as the C-e m command above
(speechd-speak-last-message
).
The same as the C-e i command above
(speechd-speak-last-insertions
).
If you don’t like such character reading prompt behavior, you can disable it using the following variable:
speechd-speak-allow-prompt-commands
If non-nil
, allow the speechd-speak commands mentioned above in
read-char prompts.
