Hello,

I'm new to Emacs.

I'm attempting to use Emacspeak on the latest Mac OS. I hear the initial Emacspeak startup sound effect and some speech, but then no speech at all. I've heard of a workaround involving pressing ctrl-x left to move to a scratch buffer and holding up which works but feels really clunky.

Is there a more reliable way of getting speech to happen immediately on the mac?

I've tested the Macspeak server manually and it works perfectly standalone.


Cheers,

Dickson
