Re: RAM needed for ViaVoice

Hi Tim
I face the same problem. I have 64MB. Via Voice is working, but the
speech is not free flowing. It is
breaking up in the middle. It is reading only a part of the line and
synthesis is not proper. Sometimes it does not talk at all. It just reads
three or four words in a line and then stops and there is a kind of
stammering sound coming out of the speaker. Then should i buy more RAM or is
there any other solution?
Thank you.
