the reason for using balabolka is that hal has a limit to the amount of text that it can read at one time (single response).
if the text were passed through hal, it would not finish.
there are a few technical issues here.
this was the best thing that i could come up with that would work with hal.
i wish [8D](ROBERT?) that there was a way in hal to know when a line has completed passing through the voice output. in other words: a way to pass one line at a time of the text to sapi instead of all lines at once. there are a few ways that this could be done.
the only way that i know hal could do it right now, is to do it based on a timer, which would not be consistent at all.
if anyone has a solution.......please give me some ideas.
i don't use a character, so it is not important to me. however, i think it is an important simple function for the future development of hal.
