Please use the emacspeak list so it gets archived.
If you are unfamiliar with using emacs info (you should spend some
time learning it)
you might find the online HTML version more convenient.

Marcelo> Emacspeak speech servers for a specific synthesizer

Marcelo> For examples, study the following pairs of files:
