[Emacspeak] Re: Outloud/Voxin And Pulseaudio

[John Covici <covici@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I am on Mac, but I also have linux and was interested in getting
emacspeak to work with voxin which I have installed using the
vocalizer voices.  the speech dispatcher solution sounds like a good
start.  I never bought the outloud voices partly because it uses very
old libraries and I did not want to do that.
