Hi All
It’s been a while since I’ve interacted with the mailing list so apologies if
I am covering previously discussed topics.

I recently updated my MacBook to macOS 26.3 and have since been experiencing
far slower speech feedback from emacspeak with typing in Ido buffers seeming
to almost have a 1 second delay and far greater delays when scrolling even
moderately large buffers though that might be related to other processes like
LSP.
I’ve reinstalled emacs to make sure that wasn’t the problem but nothing
changed.
I went to go and update emacspeak as it has been a while since I had built
the latest version and noticed that there were no updates and the last commit
on the GitHub was made a year and a half ago in august 2024.
I searched the archives and found that T.V. Raman had to step away from the
project however I imagine this hasn’t halted development entirely as the list
seems to still be relatively active.
Is there somewhere new that changes are being made until T.V. Raman can
return to the project?

If not, what is the plan going forward for emacspeak as I imagine future
changes to emacs will eventually mean it will stop working properly.

In the mean time, does anyone know what I could try to make the speech return
to normal for me?

Best Regards, Isaac
