[Emacspeak] Re: Disable pronouncing CAPS globally



Open Customize with C-h SPC, type Emacspeak, and press Enter. There, you can get rid of “aac” and “cap” in those fields. Solves two very annoying issues.

I'm no expert, but have that problem.  After starting Emacs and Emacspeak,
I hold down the control key and hit the letter u.  That makes the
following command good for the session  It is C-u.

Then do C-e C-d C-s, and Emacspeak will stop saying "capitol," until next
boot up.

I'm sure this could be changed in the Emacspeak settings, but I don't know
how.  HTH.

Hi list,


I tried emacspeak 55 and could not turn off pronounciation of CAPS. What I meant
is I want to disable this feature globally.

I can set the value of dtk-caps to nil globally using prefix but when I open new
buffer, it went back.


Please advice.



What speech server are you using? I seem to remember there was an issue
with the espeak speech server relating to this (but I could be wrong).

You can put

(setq-default dtk-caps nil)

in you emacs init file (before you load Emacspeak) to set the default
value to nil.

The dtk-caps variable is a buffer local variable (i.e. each buffer has
its own independent version of this variable). Using setq-default should
set the default for all new instances of the variable in newly created
buffers (I think using just setq will only set the version in the
current buffer). However, if this is an issue specific to the espeak
server, it is possible even using setq-default won't work and someone
will need to look at the server code to see why it isn't working.
Problem is, I'm not sure anyhone who is using the espeak server has
stepped up to maintain it, so if a fix is required, it might be some
time before it happens.
