Emacspeak discussion list

[John Covici <covici AT ccs.covici.com>]

I did the make clean and it compiled OK, but when I ran it, I get some very 
weird speec.  Here is the portion of my .emacs, I used to run:
(setq mac-ignore-accessibility t)
(setq emacspeak-sounds-directory "/Users/covici/emacspeak/sounds")

;(setq dtk-program "mac")
(setq dtk-program "swiftmac")
(load-file "/Users/covici/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")
(dtk-set-character-scale 0.50)

 z  
It runs, but it says things like pitch 1 and pitch range and it speaks very 
slow.
