Swiftmac 2.1 with notifications mode is pushed. Run it with -n and it will only play output to the left side. Remaining tasks to get Swiftmac 2 merged into mainline is building out the supporting lisp stuff, gotta fire up two instances now, need to add in its own configuration options and settings and defaults as they no longer are in anyway compatible with the python mac server. I have all but given up on getting beepcaps support working, you can have beepcaps when typing, but during TTS playback, there is no hook for me to play a tone at the right time. My options are breaking down the thing to be played at every uppercase and doing hand managing of the speaking queue, which causes annoying latency when it is at a word level, really noticeable with split caps and editing code with a lot fo camel case. So rather than shipping something I hate using, going to leave it out. On dectalk, it will compile rather easily on MacOS, but then actually using it has all sorts of problems. I think this is tractable and worth continuing to work on, but will require non-trivial amounts of effort. So for now to understand intended behavior I am just going to install a linux VM (AccessibleCoconut, unless people have specific distro recommendations) and try it that way. > On Mar 27, 2024, at 16:24, T.V Raman <raman@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > One more thing for you to try if you haven't already, > > 1.
