DESCRIPTION: 
	A Speaking Email Client. This program is very much a beta version
	but as such I am using it as my primary email client.


REQUIREMENTS:
	Linux or similar OS
	A text to speech system like festival or cepstral.
	Several Perl Modules (I know it is a lot):
	   PerlSpeak.pm (A Perl Module for text to speech)
	   Email::StripMIME
	   Email::MIME
	   Email::Simple
	   Net::POP3
	   Mail::Sender


INSTALLING:
	First install the above Perl Modules, then just
	run the install.sh script. It will by default
	put files in /usr/local/bin. You may supply
	a -prefix argument to change that.
	You will need your Email address and mail server 
	information handy the first time you run the speakmail program.

FEATURES:
	* Easy to use talking menu driven Email Client.
	* Speach assisted Setup.
	* Included is the speaktcl editor, a speaking text editor. Code is 
		from tcledit: a linux console based editor in pure tcl
		modified for speech by Joe Kamphaus 2007


USAGE:
	Browse menus using the arrow keys. 
	Select an item with the enter key or by pressing "Y".
	
	Answer Y or N when speakmail asks a question.

	speakmail uses speaktcledit for editing email. See the
	speaktcledit.README file for documentation using speaktcledit.
	
	The first time you run the speakmail, you will need your
	Email address and mail server information handy because
	speakmail will want to setup your email account. To change your
	information you can select "Setup" from the main menu.
	
	
BUGS:
	Does not handle many attachments well I am working on this.
	Please contact me if you have any other problems.
	
	
TODO:
	Better handling of attachments.
	Auto install perl modules with the instalation script.
