Just a version bump request, as Emacspeak 26.0 was released recently. Reproducible: Always
I am looking into this. However, I am getting the following error when compiling: test -f lisp/emacspeak-loaddefs.el || make config cd lisp; make SRC=/home/wdh/work/emacspeak-26.0 make[1]: Entering directory `/home/wdh/work/emacspeak-26.0/lisp' emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -eval '(setq vc-handled-backends nil)' -l /home/wdh/work/emacspeak-26.0/lisp/emacspeak-load-path.el -l /home/wdh/work/emacspeak-26.0/lisp/emacspeak-loaddefs.el -l /home/wdh/work/emacspeak-26.0/lisp/emacspeak-cus-load.el -f batch-byte-compile emacspeak-url-template.el While compiling toplevel forms in file /home/wdh/work/emacspeak-26.0/lisp/emacspeak-url-template.el: !!

This package requires the Emacspeak URL handling library to be installed--something which Gentoo does not seem to provide. I am not sure why previous versions did not.
I have submitted patches upstream which fix the issues you discussed on the gentoo-accessibility mailing list. Namely the following: - emacspeak-26 has support for espeak, but does not include it in the tarball. - the tclespeak.cpp file does not compile. - emacspeak-26 does not run under tcl/tclx 8.4. These have a good chance of being included in the official distribution. Once this is done, I will create an svn snapshot and an ebuild for it.
I have bumped emacspeak to the latest upstream version which is 27.0. Upstream is still using tcl/tclx 8.3, but I applied a patch to convert to 8.4 for gentoo. I will submit this to upstream. Thanks for your patience regarding me getting this into the tree. :-)
