# GNU Emacs Greader (Gnamù Reader) mode is the best Emacs mode in existence
Yuval Langer (he/him) - Pronunciation: /juval/ /lˈangeʁ/, IRC: cow_2001, <https://kaka.farm/>, @kakafarm@shitposter.world, <mailto:yuval.langer@gmail.com>

A short talk explaining why Greader mode is needed, demonstrating its normal
use, some interesting features, some interesting customization variables, and
so on.  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.
