Emacs speech and Braille output interface

speechd-el's Issues

speechd-el crashes when writing commit message with magit

Steps to reproduce:

• Try to make a commit with magit, either from the interface, or from the command linewith EDITOR=emacsclient.
• speechd-el should say the usual "Press C-c C-c to save..." message normally, then it should suddenly stop speaking and reset to normal settings.
• If you try to fill out the commit message and type in C-c C-c it will fail. It's clearer when running from the terminal that to git it doesn't even look like the editor started properly

Note that editing normal files with emacsclient works as expected. Here's the transcript, I'm not sure how to get more information about this problem right now:

$ EDITOR=emacsclient gc --allow-empty
hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... Waiting for Emacs...
*ERROR*: Error on opening Speech Dispatcher connection
error: There was a problem with the editor 'emacsclient'.
Please supply the message using either -m or -F option.

I'm running emacs version 29.3, aur packe emacs-speechd-el-git, and all the relevant packages are up-to-date.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Provide a starter init.el file

I started configuring Emacs under WSL2 Windows Subsystem for Linux. I got the sound working and the speechd-el package installed.

There are some issues I cannot find solutions for:

• Examples or a working init.el file, which can be very useful for beginners,
• Speechd-el does not honor speech-dispatcher settings set in the user configuration speech-dispatcher directory in neither emacs.conf nor in speechd.conf files,

I am willing to write a brief tutorial or put together an init.el file that could be included in hte repository. If there are some non-obvious resources, I would be glad to learn about them.

Thank you in advance for any help and ideas...
