For some time now my ViaVoice 3.x, when active, has been making my entire computer operate much more sluggishly then in the past ( Finder Windows opening slowly etc.). Jaguar 10.2.8 with a G4 / 450. I Recently purchased a DUAL 1.25 machine also. After installing ViaVoice on that machine, I first backed up my voice model on the old machine - and moved it over to the new machine and then restored. ( The last thing I want to do is to have to create a voice model from scratch...) Unbelievably, the new dual machine was also sluggish when ViaVoice was active. Lots of waiting - slow Windows etc. Sometime back, I recall being to go into a special window - I think it was " analyze my documents" - and process previously stored user corrections (from using correction mode) on this page. After processing - believe the program would work much faster and free things up. Q: * I no longer see that choice anymore - does anybody know where it is? Q: Does anybody have any ideas how to speed things up again? ( without creating a new voice model ...) Q: does anybody know if ViaVoice 3.x will work on Panther? Q: does anybody know if scan soft will ever update this dying application? Interesting note: if I'm sure some of the list members remember a thread about a year ago - where if you listened to the ViaVoice audio - it had bad static in the recording. My g4/450 certainly had that problem. Before I upgraded the new ViaVoice on the new machine - I tested the sound of my voice recordings and - interestingly enough - the static was NOT there in the recording. And for whatever it's worth - some update note mentions that the upgrade changes the recording from 22 K to 44 K to fix the problem. For any non audiophiles - that basically means that the file sizes of saving audio with your document will be double! -- RevDave Lists at domains4days.com [db-lists] Check out some great Domain Names at: http://www.domains4days.com
