I know an advantage of the native module is that ESpeak won't have to be called and that "wav" files won't be generated for each key-press. Just curious how Diispatcher andnative module work on SMP. I think if anyone uses the generic one, though, that you'll still be bale to make dispatcher crash. I was able to do that with the Generic dectalk module. I was not able to do so with the Flite module however, sinse that was native. But FLite is too slow to respond to keyboared stuff for me. ESPeak should be much better. Another question: does the native module allow multiple sounds to go through the soundcard? Regards, --Keith.
