Narrative:
During our transitioning from [gate] to [gate] and before contacting ground control the flight deck was called. I answered the call and it was flight attendant informing me of smoke in the cabin as she also pressed the emergency button. I told captain of smoke in the cabin and the decision to evacuate was made. Captain told ramp of the evacuation while I confirmed to flight attendant of the evacuation. Captain clicked over to PA to what it seemed to gather more information while in comm one I overheard the ramp asking for reconfirmation; as I was starting to choke on the smoke. I clicked over to comm one and reconfirmed. Captain and I proceeded to run the evacuation QRH checklist. After it was completed; I grabbed the airplane flashlight and ran down the stairs leading the passengers away from the airplane to a safe spot away from the airplane and any oncoming emergency vehicles.
