Ultra Hal 7.0 / Problem with settings

« on: February 08, 2004, 11:58:42 pm »

I too have the annoying problem of the Hal program not remembering selections in the speech pronunciation settings.  But I would also like to add that I have the Lernout & Hauspie speech engine installed, which contains the 'Carol' Voice.  Whenever I go into the Windows control panel and edit the speech parameters, or add words and pronunciations, it too doesn’t get remembered.  I noticed that when you activate the speech properties, it creates the dictionary file temporarily, and deletes it when you close the speech properties.  I've tried designating a different dictionary file but when I go back to the speech properties the original dictionary file is loaded in.  I have several gripes about Hal’s nagging problems but perhaps this one is not his fault.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / the date is not right

I too have a problem with Hal’s calendar.  I tried entering an event by hand but it still puts the entry into 2005.
No one can answer this problem without an update patch I fear.  There is also a problem where Hal doesn’t remember settings in the speech pronunciation section.  Hal is a good program, but contains many errors.  I think that a free update patch along with a free character is in order.
