I tried out Emacspeak (as an abled (i.e. non-disabled) person) and found it usable. But not quite great. In the ongoing hype of “AI”, there are much better text-to-speech and speech-to-text systems than what Emacspeak seems to use. I have been amazed by the prototype that Abhinav Tushar a.k.a. “lepisma” demonstrated in this blog post from 2024 titled “Dictation Mode for Emacs”: https://lepisma.xyz/2024/09/12/emacs-dictation-mode/ Their dictation mode allows to dictate “write one two three four as words”, or “... with digits” etc., or give commands like “go back a word” etc. Emacs could have an extremely powerful a11y framework! It would also be useful for abled people.
