Hi, I had spoken to a friend regarding the sluggishness I’m experiencing with my Mac Mini, even though its processor is core I7 and it has 4 GB of DDR3 ram. He had guessed that it may be related to the lack of displays. However, right now I’m finding that it is, in fact, not.
Yesterday when listening to the mac basics podcasts on AppleVis, I thought I could hear the same delay in that user’s VO as well; there is about a 0.5 seconds delay before VO responds to a key press. I’ve experimented with this and I’m guessing the issue is not VO’s fault but Alex’s; VO plays the voice tones instantly but it takes a while for the speech to come in. Do any of you have this issue? If so and if my analysis is right, what voice do you use? Since I’m used to eSpeak, the human factor in synthesizers is not really important for me; I prefer responsiveness to quality every day.
