It is in the current emacspeak git version, so will go out with next major
release.

If you don't want to wait, or want a more cutting edge version then use:

https://github.com/robertmeta/swiftmac

after you get it just "make install" to build and install from the root
directory, then reset emacs.

README.md and some project aspects will undergo rapid change in the next few
days, as it now has shifted purpose a bit.
