Greader is a text-to-speech minor mode written by Michelangelo Rodriguez. For various reasons, I find it hard reading long things on the computer screen. Using Greader greatly helps me with that. I use it to read sites on EWW, books with Nov.el, blogs with Elfeed, and various other texts I copy from other programs and yank to a randomly named `C-x b alsdkfjoewjfocm RET` buffer. The author had also provided some interesting features he would like me to cover. About the speaker: I am a mere user who loves reading, but damned to be a slow reader. Alas! Thankfully, there's Emacs and Greader mode. Note: This talk will be narrated by a text-to-speech engine because of a request from the speaker.
