hello John. In general, I agree with you. I doubt there's a machine that's really too slow to run software speech. However, having said that, I have a pentium II which runs at 233MHZ and has 128MB of RAM. It runs software speech just fine, running eflite. However, It's not particularly fun to use because the latency is too long. It's hard to get it to stop talking and get it to restart on a dime and so using it is a bit slow. It's perfectly functional, but, as I say, not fun to use. As a digital recording device, however, it's beautiful and I've used it to capture the audio at 8 California state conventions now. -thanks -Brian _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
