3.6.3 Stop Or Restart Speech

Stopping speech ends the current output without disabling future feedback. Quiet mode is useful when you temporarily want to keep working without speech. Restart the server after correcting a backend problem or changing the selected synthesizer.

C-e s

Stop speech now with tts-stop.

C-e d q

Toggle quiet mode in the current buffer. Press C-u first to toggle it globally.

C-e C-s

Stop and restart the selected speech server.

C-e d V

Speak the selected adapter and its version information.

Use C-h m or the generated keymap reference for server selection, repeated-pattern cleanup, text splitting, language selection, and direct engine controls. Those specialist settings are intentionally outside this starter guide.
