Ok Dave I got it to work. I doubt you will write your ttsserver the same
way I am but I don't have the time to spend days on this I will finish mine
someday maybe by the end of the month if no one else does but if either you
are closer to being done or if you want to take what I have done please be
my guest. This is a start of a TtsServer so that we can use emacspeak on
Mac so without more of my ranting here is what was missing. I did not use
AppHelper in my first version thus there was no event loop to send the
messages. I should have known there was something like this because in
truth this is just a Linux like DBus session. Anyway. After I added the
bottom line of the script all I had to do is add the stop to the delegate
and it runs perfectly. I have the two first parts of the EmacsSpeak
TtsServer protocol working so if you take the below code put it in a python
file and run the following two commands
ttsserver version
ttsserver tts_say This is a sentence I want this to say.
If ttsserver is your file and its set execute,
these both work. If you define the functions and add them to my dictionary
this protocol could probably be done in a couple hours. If you have more
done just add the AppHelper and make sure your delegate is correctly named
like mine and your off and running. Best of luck if you beat me to the
punch please send it to me for testing I would really like to get EmacsSpeak
running on Mac. Now below the code is in-between "***Start*** and
***End*** tags.

AppHelper.stopEventLoop()

Agreed on the crappy docs concerning this.
Tried my hand at a speech server using py obj and had the *exact* same
problem.
Of course, implementing the delegate (NSSpeechSynthesizerDelegate if
memory serves), with all methods of the protocol yields no errors at
runtime; it simply just doesn't work.
Would be curious to see if anyone has an answer as well.
