Well see that's just it, I have winamp playing through a different sound
source normally because of volume issues and recording and all that. Is
there a way to force the audio device to stay open with sapi? a command
switch or something?

Dave,
Try opening something which will keep the audio device active like
Winamp. We explicitly keep the device open with Eloquence, but it's up
to Windows when SAPI speaks.

Hi there,
I am looking into new synthesizers for reading text. I am interested in
the cepstral and Loquendo voices. I have been testing them in a
Window-Eyes environment and have noticed a very slow response with them.
I am used to eloquence which of course has pretty fast response. But
this is probably half a second between a key press and a spoken action.
This is particularly true in the case of pressing letters on the
keyboard. I have the interrupt ability set to all keys. I was just
curious if there was any way to possibly increase the response time. I
am running a machine with an AMD quadcore, windows 7, 64-bit, and 16 GB
DDR three RAM. The soundcards are external but responsiveness with
eloquence is not flagged by using them.
I realize that this also just might be the footprint of the synthesizer
itself but the cepstral voices are about 30 MB, I don't know the
footprints of eloquence voices. Is there anything I can do or am I just SOL?
