| I've been playing with the text to speech code:
assert (package.loadlib ("luacom.dll","luacom_open")) ()
talk = assert (luacom.CreateObject ("SAPI.SpVoice"), "cannot open SAPI")
talk:Speak ("%1!")
I use it to announce events I want to hear even while in a different window, yet I find it lags MUSH on me, has anyone had similar experiences and might have a suggestion how to avoid this? | | Top |

| | Don't create the object each time, that would be slow. Create the SAPI object ("talk") once when you start the client, and just do talk:Speak when you want to say something. |

| You could probably do this:
if not talk then -- load if not already loaded
assert (package.loadlib ("luacom.dll","luacom_open")) ()
talk = assert (luacom.CreateObject ("SAPI.SpVoice"), "cannot open SAPI")
end -- if not loaded
talk:Speak ("%1!")
