Thank you for your input, Dave. Unfortunately the Flite synth and the
Rockbox utility do not get along in Windows, unlike Linux. Besides the
lag is in the creation of the voice file, not in the actual use of the
player. Most people prefer not to hear ESpeak, as that is the first
complaint when someone tries using NVDA for the first time and they're
not aware that the voice can be changed to a different variant or
speech synth altogether. Of all the different voices I have tried in
the last 5 years, the voices from the Microsoft Speech Platform 11
have proven to be the optimum solution for our players.
Regards,
Laz (the presenter)
