Shakespeare once said that discretion is the better part of valor. I think
that if I were in your place, I would take the simple approach of unloading
WE while using Kurzweil. I realize, of course, that this is not a fix; but
it would work unless you had to lift information out of the document read by
Kurzweil and paste it into an application which needed WE. One thing to
keep in mind is that even though you put WE in a silent mode, it probably
still has some hooks engaged here and there; and it still occupies some RAM.
I hope, however, that someone on this listserve will give you a better
answer; but I'm sure you can get a faster response from Kurzweil if you
unload WE; and that will at least get you by for awhile until a better
approach comes along.

Subject: WE and Kurzweil
Hello,
I have been using Kurzweil and WE together for a long time. I have
noticed that Kurzweil is very slow at responding when WE is running. I
have chosen the silent.set to allow WE to run in the background for when I
need to alt-tab to other programs. Last night, the response time was so
slow at responding to the page down command or the stop speaking command,
that I was spending way too much time trying to move from page to page.
Ultimately, I ended up turning off WE and found there was an amazing
difference in response time. In fact, to stop the speaking once I moved
from one page to the next in my file improved from over a minute per page
to only a very few seconds, maybe one or two. Are there any know fixes to
stop this from happening when I need to work with larger files? The file
is approximately 450 kb in size. I am running a Windows 7 Home Premium
computer with 64-bit and 6 gb Ram. Thank you for any helpful suggestions.
Carol
