Hi Isaac.
Which version of Emacs are you running?
Are you using Swiftmac as your speech synthesizer?
I am on the same version on Mac OS as you and do not see any speech latency issues. However, I do not use ido buffers. Is this the only place where you see the regression?

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?
