MOTA doesn't really use that much cpu as is, though this may just
be my machine. I've got games (gtc and toc to name the ones that
come to mind) that blow straight through one of my cores even
idling. As far as ram goes, unless somebody has a really old xp
machine, you could do a lot more than the game is now without
affecting them.

Hi,
Actually, doing it this way would probably be a lot better on
over all
system performance simply because the game is accessing an
existing
speech service. Sapi, for example, doesn't take up that much ram
unless you are using one of the higher quality voices like Ivona
Amy,
Bryan, Kendra, etc but even then it is better than loading x
number of
*.wav files into memory for speech output. It will both save on
CPU
power and memory. I can't see how this would do anything but
improve
matters for the better.
As for 64-bit that isn't really a big issue. Yes, some 32-bit
Sapi
voices don't play well with 64-bit versions of Windows, but there
are
other alternatives like switching over to your screen reader for
speech output instead. So regardless if you are using Vocalizer,
RealSpeak, Eloquence, Dectalk Access, whatever you can just tset
that
up to be the default TTS engine instead via your screen reader.
Cheers!

Well it depends what your cpu and memmory requirements are.
i have high quality voices now, with my core2 and 2gb ram on xp
it
works but yeah things are a bit slower.
On the newer systems the i series i3 and up there shouldn't be
any problem.
Not sure how 64 bit oses would effect as I have only had 32 bit
experience and it looks good.
Using something like espeak though robotic that it is would
still be
ok its clear enough.
