sorry if I did not explicate that clearly enough but I thought in my initial response I conveyed that I am using Python 3.9 and install pyobjc was the only requirement to install.
For the sake of it, I just briefly created some test environments and only running "Pip install pyobjc" is sufficient to use the mac speach server with all the python versions I tested: python 3.8.13, python 3.9.13 and python 3.10.4.
I understand the frustration, I initially felt similar and I still think distributions should have a shielded Python environment and it should be easier to bundle the environment for tool delivery - there actually is a PEP proposing a new way to handle environments. However, once I spent a few hours reading into it and getting the hang of it, I feel that the flexibility of virtual environments is pretty convenient.
Long story short: hopefully you are up and running and can use our all beloved emacspeak on the road :)
Best regards and enjoy the rest of the weekend,
Till

Thank you Tyler, that was exactly the information I needed. Having
confirmation that 3.9 works, together with installing pyobjc got me
there. I did need to completely uninstall python to get a clean
environment, but that seems to be SOP for python. Once I had your
confirmation, I knew it was just necessary to persevere and know I was
not being defeated by version incompatibilities etc.
