@fastfinge@interfree.ca@jscholes So the reason I wanted Python was because I naively thought a lot of the existing code could be reused, as well as some of the learnings from IBM TTS, eloquence threshold, and the sonata voices. That turned out to be entirely wrong. The "correct" way to do this would be to write a 64-bit API compatible wrapper for ECI.dll. But that's way beyond my abilities as a programmer, and AI can't help because we don't have the development headers for ECI.dll to feed it.
