I was excited to try emacspeak again and opened it, but emacspeak would
nonstop talk about "tts sync states" over and over and over again... I
don't remember this being the case when I tried it on Debian years ago.
It's saying it so much nonstop I'm not getting any other commands in.

Anyone else trying out emacspeak on Guix and getting better results?

Hi there!

Sorry it took me a while to respond.  I don't actively use the openmailbox email
account anymore.  Please try this patch when you can.  The sounds don't quite
work like they do on Debian yet, but at least emacspeak doesn't go on and on
about the TTS sync state and such.

This is much better indeed. Thank you.

On Debian espeak seems to be activated after loading ".emacs" file.
Here, the package spells out all configuration messages displayed on in
the minibuffer.

My pleasure!

How are you able to tell (aside from looking at the command line arguments)? 
I'm unable to distinguish the startup processes using Emacs on Debian and Guix
even if I install "etc/emacspeak.sh" as the startup script instead of "run".

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, Emacspeak seems to do the same for me on
Debian.  For example, it reads "Active processes exist?..." and so on when
exiting.  Is this not proper behavior?

Thanks,
Kei

On Debian, the voice kicks in after all the initial minibuffer
information is displayed, i.e., it starts when it is actually ready. On
Guix, see below.

It is, but I am speaking at the initial messages, when you start a fresh
Emacs session.

I'm having trouble replicating the issue you're having.  When I run Emacspeak on
Debian and Guix, the first thing I hear is "espeak one point five zero espeak". 
Also, when I place an infinite loop in my Emacs init file, Emacspeak is
prevented from loading in both cases.

Thanks,
Kei

I've pushed the patch as-is to master. If you are able to provide a 
method to replicate the issues you speak of here, please message me and 
we can open a bug report.
