Re: [orca-list] How many people us voxin?

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

For a good product, Voxin sure will crash your system on a simple typo 
or even a word. And it's impossible to fix, because it's unmaintained 
since 2002 or earlier, and no one even knows who has the code to be able 
to fix it. Yes, Voxin, with its shinier, newer name, still crashes on 
the word c a e s u r e, which is more common than you think. Also, I 
can't stress enough the problems that can be caused by running 
12+-year-old core libraries on a modern system. I'm not exagerating or 
being ridiculous in any way when I say avoid this synthesizer, 
especially in a production environment. It may have been a fairly good 
product 10 years ago, and it may have even been a great product 15 years 
ago, while someone was still maintaining the codebase, but it's 
certainly far from acceptable now, even on Windows, where the word 
crashes are mostly worked around with dictionary exceptions, and old 
core libraries still have to be installed to the system to make it work.
