Hi,

Here is an article below it' quite long but it should clear the audio spooler and I apologise to those who are not interested just hit that del key Loll.

The knowledge Base link address is,
<http://www.kurzweiledu.com/support_knowledgebase.asp?page=index&search=Kurzweil%201000>.
The article pertaining to the spooler, when one stops stuff in mid flow without properly stopping processing via the Audio Spooler Monitor, is as follows:

"Knowledge Base and Technical Help - Assistive Technology Software for learning disabilities Clearing the Audio Spooler Queue--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This article applies to:
list of 1 items


Kurzweil 1000 for Windows 8.0 or later
list end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary

If you're having problems with the Audio Spooler in Windows, a Technical Support Representative may determine that clearing the pending queue for the Audio Spooler may solve your problem. This document details how to clear the queue.

Symptoms

If you are unable to create an audio file, or the Audio Spooler stays "stuck" with one job permanently listed as the Current Job, you may need to clear the queue. It's best to do this only when advised to by a Technical Support Representative.

Cause

It can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the cause of this problem. One possible cause is shutting down your machine (or logging off of Windows) while the Audio Spooler is processing a job. Another possible cause is a lack of reliable MP3 compression software on your system.

Solution

If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the following path:
list of 1 items
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\KESI\Pending Audio
list end

If you are using Windows 95 or Windows 98, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the following path:
list of 1 items
C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\KESI\Pending Audio\
list end

In this folder you will find (along with many other things) the two files that control the Audio Spooler queue. These files are named:
list of 2 items
PendingJobs.kms
CurrentJob.kms
list end

To clear the queue, simply delete these two files. Note that you should only do this after you have rebooted your system, and before you launch Kurzweil 1000 or Kurzweil 3000. Once either of these programs has been run it is unsafe to delete these two files since the Audio Spooler may be accessing them.

Status

This is a known issue that may show up rarely, especially when creating very large audio files. Most users will not experience this problem, so be sure
to contact Technical Support before performing this operation.

Hi Nick,

I will do my best 1 I have not had a look at this article but if you could give me a url to it I will.

2 the voices I was referring to are the natural voices.

3 I was referring to uninstalling the natural voices engine I have done this.

The voices work well with other tts applications but sound like they are under water using K1000.

Hth.
