Hi All,

I'm experiencing considerable problems with the speech server on the mac and was wondering if anyone else is seeing similar.

Symptoms include sluggish or slow responsiveness - very easy to get ahead of the server when typing and when moving around, there seems to be a significant delay when moving to a new line before the line is spoken.

Possibly related to this is that eventually, speech just stops. If I wait a while (i.e. minutes), then it may start again (provided I've not tried to do anything else), but often all I can do is restart the server.

Have noticed the loss in performance since the last change to the mac server and following my upgrade to Higher Sierra. I note there are a number of errors displayed on the console when I do a dmesg (see attached).

Running Emacjs 25.3, latest emacspeak on Mac Book Pro running High Sierra.

regards,

Tim
