Hi Mary,
Thanks for the reply. I have one meg of ram so I think that probably
isn't the problem. For some reason I can't use dectalk; it crashes
every time I use it and I've never been able to figure out why it
does it. The neospeech seems to be the best sounding one next to
dectalk, but I will try something else and see if that cures my
problem. It baffles me that it is so intermittant. You'd think it
would be all the way one way or the other all the time, but it's
intermittant, only doing it occasionally.
Thanks again.
Bud

Hi Bud,
I'll try to explain this simply. I know that you prefer to use the
NeoSpeech voices. This is essentially your problem. This speech takes up
more ram (memory) than you have. You have two options to solve your
problem. First, you can, if your computer will take more memory, you can
buy and install more ram. This may solve your problem. If you cannot do
this, either because you can't buy, or your computer will not take more
memory, your only option to solve this problem is to switch synthesizers to
something like eloquence. Eloquence uses less of your computer's resources
and will allow you more freedom moving around in your document.
What is happening is that your computer is working so hard to use
the speech that you like that it can't do anything else at the same time.
This includes stopping the speech in midread.
Hope this clarifies things for you.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] making a page to stop reading
I know this has come up from time to time but I never was able to get
a usable answer. Often while scanning a book or whatever and I want
to read just one page, it often will read the whole page and I can't
sstop it any way. Of course, I can always wait till it gets to the
end of the page, but that's not always convenient as I may just want
to check the first line or so. Has anybody else had this problem and
has anybody got any magic way to stop the reading? I'm using
Kurzweil 11 and the scanner is an Optic3400.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
