Hi Robert!
Meant to write this earlier but keep forgetting.
I think the README for the SWIFTMac server includes some incorrect instructions, like the set-dtk-rate form for the initialization file.
Thanks so much for your work on this!

I didn't even know Emacspeak would work without a server set.  But here is a snippet from my init.el

  (setq load-path (cons "~/.emacs.d/emacspeak/lisp" load-path))
  (setq emacspeak-directory "~/.emacs.d/emacspeak")
  (setq dtk-program "swiftmac")
  (require 'emacspeak-setup)
  (dtk-set-rate 275 t)
