Hello,
I have been using VoiceWare Paul and Kate for at least six months. All
of a sudden, since Sunday afternoon, WE will start with the voices,
usually Paul, and will work for a time. For no reason that I have been
able to determine, I will go away from my computer for a while and
return to no speech. This morning, when I tried it, I was able to get
the DEC 32 up without closing WE. I did eventually get the Paul voice
back, but I had to try several things in order to achieve this. After
several times of clicking on the voice, changing the synth option and
clicking on use current settings, the voice finally opened. Of course,
this was done by using DEC.
I am running Win7 with home premium 64-bit and WE 7.2. Nothing has
changed, unless, Microsoft has changed something I am not aware of.
There are no error messages and the VoiceWare speech works for other
programs, such as Kurzweil and NVDA. Before this morning, any attempt
to reactivate the voices was a failure. In order to make speech of any
type work, I had to reboot. As I stated, this has only been since
Sunday. I am really puzzled.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I am using SoundBlaster X fi streme and
on Sunday, I could not get any of the speech to come up, except the
default NVDA speech while in the Task Manager, but as soon as I closed
that, the speech went away.
There is one other similarly related question, where after WE has hung
and been closed, I am not able to read the desktop icons when WE is
reloaded. If, for example, I go to the top of the desktop by using
Home, I can go to my main folder and access desktop entries there. The
only way to get the actual destkop speech back is to unload and reload
WE. This behavior occurs after any kind of WE failure. Thanks for any
suggestions concerning these behaviors.
Carol
