We would like to thank the authors of the various Emacs subsystems such as the WWW browser, email and news readers. Without their work, Emacspeak would have remained a speech interface to a text editor; in itself not a very useful artifact. Special thanks go to Hans Chalupsky, author of the advice package, without which the implementation of Emacspeak would have been difficult, if not impossible. I would also like to thank Win Treese for drawing my attention to the power of the advice facility and Dave Wecker[+] for goading me into writing Emacspeak.
