-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. Is it just me, or is the accent pc sluggish when used with speakup? What I mean is the longer the string the accent pc has to speak, the more of a delay there is before the string is spoken. Here is an illustration of what I'm talking about. Say for example you type the string: "This is a rather longish test sentence." on a blank line without the quotes. If you then use the numpad-8 key to read the line with speakup, there is a delay of almost one second between when the read line key is pressed, and when the accent pc actually starts to speak the sentence. On the other hand, if I type the same phrase on a blank line using a doubletalk pc, the doubletalk pc speaks the phrase immediately when the read line key is pressed. I suspect, though am not positive, that this is a speakup-specific issue, since I don't have this delay when using window-eyes or provox with the accent pc. This behavior holds true for speakup 1.5, and cvs speakup, so this is not something that was introduced recently. In fact, I have noticed this issue since I got my accent pc about a year and a half ago, but didn't comment on it until now, since I couldn't think of a clear way to describe the problem. I do remember that playing with delay_time and jiffy_delta was suggested on here before to improve synth responsiveness, however, as I recall, this suggestion was made only if one uses the stock redhat/fedora kernel, and I am using my own kernel build from the vanilla kernel.org source tarball. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
