This message makes me think I can use eSpeak on the mac with emacspeak . Is this true? If so, I checked and there is indeed an eSpeak file in that directory without a file extension, but running: emacspeak -e gives the ' process speaker not running ' error which I have seen before on linux when it was trying to pipe speech to a nonexistent hardware synthesizer. So I know its there ...appears emacspeak does not ;) On May 13, 2011, at 6:38 PM, DaShiell, Jude T.
