emacspeak 17.0-1.1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu dapper

speech output interface to Emacs
 Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow someone who
 cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system. Emacspeak is built on
 top of Emacs. Once you start emacs with emacspeak loaded, you get
 spoken feedback for everything you do. Your mileage will vary
 depending on how well you can use Emacs. There is nothing that you
 cannot do inside Emacs :-). This package includes speech servers
 written in tcl to support the DECtalk Express and DECtalk MultiVoice
 speech synthesizers. For other synthesizers, look for separate
 speech server packages such as emacspeak-ss.
