Re: [Emacspeak] Phasing out the Mac speech server?

[Bart Bunting <bart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Number two sounds the most sensible.
Its probably the easiest in some ways as when the Mac server is dead, it’s just a case of deleting the relevant files.
Also, do you have an example of a swiftMac -voices.el file using the voice changes that you showed in that sample? I’d be keen to have a play around with it I seem to get the syntax right. I’m obviously missing something, simple

Emacspeak will then use Swiftmac and the swiftmac-voices.el by default in the `voice-setup` function, but if things break, someone could manually set the speech server to Mac using C-e d s Mac <RET>.
