Ok, I know I already asked this question, but here it is a little differently. I am using the internal Accent pc as an external. What I am wondering is how to keep from having a rather lengthy delay in speech after a key press if I turn the synth off and then back on. This happens regardless if I "kill" SPeakup with the kill key or just use insert enter key to turn it off. I have to reboot the box in order to get the synth to respond normally. I want to do this so I can take the synth to other boxes etc. Is there a reason this happens with the Accent, but not my Doubletalk external? Is there some way of dealing with this? pressing keys on the keyboard before turning the speech back on has no affect. tia Scott
