Emacspeak discussion list

Hi,

the first thing I would check is that emacpseak is actually being
loaded. Have a look in your *Messages* buffer to see if there are
messages showing that emacspeak is being loaded.

Note also that on the Mac, how you start emacs caqn have an impact. If
you are starting emacs from finder or the dock, it does not load your
.bashrc file and therefore will not have picked up any environment
variables, such as the one which sets your speech server. However, if
you start emacs from within a terminal, your local config files will
have been sourced and therefore will have those settings.

It may be worthwile sharing your init.el file so that we can see
everything is colnfigured correctly. I don't run mac anymore and have
not used the swift based mac tts, so am unable to provide more specific
details regarding that setup.
