emacsvox-eterm-autospeak controls automatic feedback in the current buffer
and defaults to enabled. C-t C-q toggles it. The older spelling
eterm-autospeak is not an Emacsvox variable.
A Term buffer must be displayed in a live window for automatic output speech. A hidden buffer can keep running silently. This displayed-window condition is not EAT’s selected-buffer and keyboard-focus policy.
In line mode, speech reads newly inserted output as a range rather than interrupting it for every character. In character mode, rendered cursor and screen changes determine whether a character, word, movement, or reached line is presented. New terminal activity can stop earlier speech.
This integration does not provide EAT’s bounded screen transactions, completion model, or alternate-screen policy. When a redraw is ambiguous or an announcement too brief, use the explicit review commands.
