+eflite is a speech server for Emacspeak and other screen readers that
+allow them to interface with Flite.
+
+NOTE:
+
+If you are using flite and eflite to interface with emacspeak, then
+you will also have to set some environment variables:
+
+As user:
+echo 'DTK_PROGRAM=/usr/local/bin/eflite; export DTK_PROGRAM' >> ~/.bash_profile
+
+For a completely vision-free system, you may add these steps:
+
+As root:
+echo 'exec /usr/local/bin/flite -t "please log in"' >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+
+As user:
+echo 'exec /usr/bin/emacspeak' >> ~/.bash_profile
