For examples of use, see emacspeak-vm.el which uses this feature to define an appropriate pronunciation rule for ISO DateTime values. ** TTS Support: TTS specific code is now restricted in modules of the form <synth-name>-voices.el. Support for additional TTS engines should be modeled on the code in dectalk-voices.el and outloud-voices.el Local variables: mode: outline paragraph-separate: "[ ]*$" end:
