On my Pentium 90, there is a segnificant delay between what shows up on screen and when flite speaks it. If there is a large chunk of text, there's a few second delay between different parts of that chunk.Does this problem exist on faster systems like a 400 P2 or something you would buy new today? Can I controll this behavior on my system and if so how? Is there a way to change how flite pronounces words like a custome dictionary. For example I'd like it to say debian with a short e and say certain words as two seperate words. If these customizations are possable, are they controlled in speakup, speechd_up, speech dispatcher or flite. Sean
