@michaelDCurran, thoughts? Do we still want the SAPI5 fixes here? This might still help Windows 8 users, but it might also break some other synths; it's impossible to say for certain.

I think we should keep the lag/pause fix, at least for voices that report as 'Microsoft'.

Okay. Since this is your PR, will you take care of this at some point or do you want it reassigned?

I can look at it.

Hi, at least OneCore voices support is.

Is this something new? Are these different to the normal sappi 5 voices we already see in nvda? Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal email to:- briang1@blueyonder.co.uk, putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Hi, I’m thinking more of reducing lag in SAPI5 (Mick knows more about this). Thanks.

Hmm, lag? I always thought any lag in this was due to the system reading ahead for correct intonation in the reading. Its not too bad even in older machines for me as a say all reading synth, albeit that Microsoft insist on setting the abbreviations to us ones when in other areas of English world they mean something else!

Can the lag issue be included in NVDA? I am trying out a synthesizer i.e. flite. This synthesizer does not stop the speech for a while. But when I try with this branch the speech stops immediately on pressing control. When I checked, I found that it happens because this branch accesses the AudioStream from SAPI5 and stops the stream on pause and cancel.
