Changing the swiftmac-default-voice-string doesn't change the voice

[parhamdoustdar]

This issue came up with the latest MacOS update, where Alex doesn't seem to be available, Setting the voice to another TTS like this didn't work either:

(setq swiftmac-default-voice-string "[{voice :com.apple.eloquence.en-US.Eddy}] [[pitch 1]]")

After debugging this, I found that the hashmap of defined voices doesn't get updated when this variable is changed.

I propose:

1. Changing the swiftmac-default-voice-string into a custom using defcustom, and changing it to a more user-friendly name. This solves two problems: it makes changing the voice easier using Emacs' intuitive custom interface, and allows us to update the table of voices on change.
2. Define a set property on the custom definition, which calls swiftmac-define-voice with the new value.

Voila! Now the user doesn't have to dig into the guts of the swiftmac-voices.el and dtk-speak.el to change their default voice :-)

Has this been changed?
I can't seem to change the voice, I thought I'd changed it to alex but it seems as though simply downloading alex has changed the default and now I can't set it to anything else, not even what I had before.
