So, there are a lot of ways the python server can get sort of twisted, so I am going to mention some things that you probably already tried / knew about, please excuse the duplicative nature.
1. When you run it from a terminal, do you hear the welcome message, you should hear
e mac speak server
2. When you run it from the terminal, you can even test it a bit by typing some commands right into the prompt, it is a simple text interface, for example you can type:
t 500 500
followed by return to hear a tone, if you get the startup sound and it plays a tone it is absolutely working.
3. Make sure you are not in a virtual environment for python, as I do work in python this bit me many times.
4. Make sure you have pyobjc installed in such a way that it lands in the same path as the version of emacs you are running. The way you can test this is by running emacs from a terminal and having it work but then running it from the mac spotlight and it doesn't. That means that the dependency is installed in such a way that when you launch using spotlight it can't find pyobjc. To fix this you can use a environmental flag when doing the pip install so instead of just
pip3 install pyobjc
you use
env -i pip3 install pyobjc
5. I assume you do have python3 installed as it is required.
6. Besides python, you should have mplayer and sox installed, so you can do that and make sure everything is upgraded with the following three commands:
brew update
brew upgrade
brew install python sox mplayer
----
And with that I think I am out of ideas. Let us know where you get stuck.

Then run „pip3 install pyobjc„ to install the required package and check again if you hear the voice when running the servers/mac file.
For swiftmac, take a look at Robert‘s GitHub:

Hello,
How would I switch to the new swift server? When I tried running ./mac from the servers directory it told me there was no module named foundation.

If you are using the system Python, the upgrade might updated the used Python version as well and you could be missing libraries. Try „ Python servers/mac“ from the emacspeak root directory. If you don’t hear the emacspeak voice, you need to install the required libraries or consider switching to the swift based speech server that was recently introduced and discussed on this list.

Hello,
I do have VOCR on my mac. I just tried running it and there was no error on the screen. I am using the macport version of emacs. I am running the newest version of emacspeak. I may have to uninstall everything to see if that helps but I don't
want to do that unless its necessary.

Do you have VOCR? Try running OCR on it and seeing what error you get.

anything. What can I do to try and fix this? THanks for any help.
