brew install swiftmac

Requirements

• macOS with Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, or newer)
• Emacspeak installed

Usage

After installation, configure Emacs to use SwiftMac:

(setenv "EMACSPEAK_DIR" "/path/to/.emacspeak")
(load-file "/opt/homebrew/share/emacs/site-lisp/swiftmac-voices.el")
(dtk-select-server "swiftmac")

Three server variants are available:

• swiftmac - Standard speech server
• log-swiftmac - Server with debug logging

Updating

brew update
brew upgrade swiftmac

Maintainers

To update the formula after a new SwiftMac release, run the following from the SwiftMac repository (not this tap):

cd /path/to/swiftmac
make update-brew

This automatically updates the version, URL, and SHA256 checksum in the formula.

See Contributing.org for the detailed release process.
