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.
