Has anyone else found that, when navigating sites or text using
the Realspeak synthesizer, that it's a big more sluggish than,
say, Eloquence?
Yes, the larger and higher quality the software synthesizer,
generally, the more computing resources it requires. You'll notice
similar behavior if you try the AT&T naturallySpeaking voices or
Neospeech voices. Having these on a separate partition or hard
drive may help, or using a faster computer.
Eloquence is snappy now, but I remember when it to, on the slower
computers of a decade ago, wasn't as responsive as a good hardware
synthesizer. I still prefer my TripleTalk for that reason - I know
that my system is being slowed down as little as possible by my
screenreader.
