OK, I finally have sorted out, how to get the Eloquence family come
back home. Thanks for all feedback and assistance. But it seems
there is some trouble in WE7.2B1, in handling voice switching. I now
have been playing around, and can duplicate this on a steady basis.
Hopefully, GW can sort out what is going on, and make sure of a fix,
before the final release.
And, just a small note, the stuff about going via DecTalk, doesn't
work here. I am running a local version of WE, and GW is not
including DecTalk with this version.
I have tried this out with a long line of SAPI voices, and it
happens exactly the same on each one of them. I also have tried
turning off all scripts, to eliminate any scripting conflicts.
Here is what happens:
If you switch to a SAPI voice, and then close down WE, and then
restart it; it comes up with the SAPI voice loaded. Just as it
should. If now, you try to open the WE ControlPanel, go to File /
Synthesizer, and scroll to Eloquence, then tab over to the Engines
section; no voices are showing up.
If you, at this state exit the dialog (click OK), then close down
WE, and restart it; here Eloquence is all back and fine. This is a
bit tiresome process, and I am unable to find any good reason for
having to 'drag that family of voices out' this way. I did play a
bit with the Use As Backup Synth checkbox, but it has no effect in
here. Just wanted to have all possibilities cared for.
Eloquence should realy be available, no matter which voice happend
to be active, when WE was started.

Subject: Eloquence has gone for a vacation
Yesterday, my WE7.2B1 froze, with no other ways to get it up again,
but to restart the computer. I was, at the moment, using a SAPI
voice. Now I want to switch back to Eloquence, but when trying to do
so with the help of Voice rotor, I am told 'Eloquence Reed is not
found'. OK, I thought, if he is playing hide-and-seek, that is fine
with me. I just will go to WE ControlPanel, File \ Synthesizer, and
find him there.
Yep, that is what I thought. When getting into the dialog for
choosing synth, I can arrow to Eloquence, but when tabbing over to
the list of installed voices, it is empty. Absolutely NO ONE of the
Eloquence family is at home. I have tried to restart WE, even the
whole computer, several times - to no avail. All Eloquences have
gone for a vacation; and that is without noticing me :(
Has anyone gotan idea, as to what I can do, so as to get back
Eloquence? Allright, there would be the chance of reinstalling WE,
but I really wish there is a bit less drastic way of doing things.
And to GW: You know, cases like this, was somehow easier in the 6.1
version, since you could plug in your CD, and reinstall the SAPI
version of Eloquence. Would it be possible, that later versions of
WE would have a 'repair' feature, in the installation process. I
have seen this on quite a few software, and it does a great job, in
many cases, reinsuring all registry intries etc is correct and
up-to-date. Woudl have been great, if WE had such a feature, making
it possible to recover when something like this takes place.
