3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR ARTIC 215 SPEECH SYNTHESIZERS

Due to the word indexing limitations of  the SONIX2 interface
software, speech quality was degraded slightly (there are very small
pauses between words) in this driver to get improved response
when stopping and starting speech and to be able to accurately
highlight the word on the screen as it is spoken.
