[Emacspeak] Re: Emacspeak announces capitalization even though dtk-caps is disabled

[Alan Ghelardi <alan.ghelardi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No problem. I'm gonna keep looking into that although, for now, after tweaking the var dtk-split-caps my experience is satisfactory.

Just a question and I'm sorry if it sounds stupid: which backend Emacspeak utilizes by default, Espeak or Espeak-ng? Actually I have both installed but I thought that it was using Espeak-ng because when Emacspeak starts up, it says Espeak 1.50, which is the Espeak-ng's version. And when you say speech server are you referring to server/native-espeak/tclespeak.cpp? Is there documentation somewhere about how Emacspeak communicates with these speech servers?

the status -- also, I dont use espeak.

For others and yourself on the list, the espeak server needs a
maintainer who is also an active user of espeak -- otherwise  it'll
continue to remain largely unsupported and best-effort.

This is somewhat unfortunate because espek-ng is moving after many
years of espeak itself being stagnant.
