Re: [Emacspeak] Swiftmac server now part of emacspeak and plan going forward

[John Covici <covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I installed successfully, a few questions./problems remain.

I was hoping for capitalization to be available, by pitch changes, am
I mistaken?  Also, voiceover is on in the emacspeak window -- isn't it
supposed to be off in that window only automatically?  I am pretty
sure it works that way with the default serverr.  I will also have to
see if I am doing something wrong with my punctuation settings,
when I was trying to reply to your email, I was not hearing any
dashes  in a line like the following:
--text follows this line--

Otherwise, seems pretty good, I am even getting sounds!!

Thanks for all yyour hard work.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
