Automatic feedback is controlled by the buffer-local setting
emacsvox-eterm-autospeak, which is on by default. Toggle it for the
current Term buffer with C-t C-q. The older spelling
eterm-autospeak is not an Emacsvox variable.
The Term buffer must be displayed in a live window for output to be spoken automatically. A hidden Term buffer can continue running without speaking. In line mode, Emacsvox reads the newly inserted output range without interrupting it for every character. In character mode, it presents rendered cursor movement, characters, words, or the reached line according to how the screen changed; new terminal activity can stop earlier speech.
This feedback is based on Term’s rendered buffer and cursor coordinates. It does not provide EAT’s bounded screen transactions, terminal-completion model, or alternate-screen policy. Use explicit review whenever automatic output is too brief or an application redraw is ambiguous.
