Re: [orca-list] Cepstral Voices giving out

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hey All:

Just to clarify - it's not that this bug is low priority, it's just that I believe this is going to require cooperation from the Cepstral folks themselves.  While their voices do sound great, it is a closed commercial system and I have a lot of difficulty debugging code that I cannot see.  :-(

Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?  I'm using Cepstral version 5.0, and the voice is licensed.  If I can fix this problem I'm seriously considering getting 1 or 2 other voices for variety, but don't want to if I'm going to be having this problem all the time.
