Hi Bob,
there are two different types of table arrays, the first one is the standard search string array table, it has a limit of 1 MB, that's 1 million letters, spaces and symbols etc.
the second array table is the question answers learning table, it has a limit of 4 MB, that's 4 million letters, spaces and symbols etc. this can be adjusted when you create the table array.
if you are not using Haptek, as a visual aid, you should not have a problem with ultra Hal reading a large file, but for some reason Haptek interferes with the reading process.
I used MS agent 2 for my visual aid, it does not look as good as Haptek but there are things that you can do with MS agent 2 that you cannot do with Haptek, and MS agent 2 does not interfere with the length of time it takes to read large files.
In Haptek, the faster you have your voice set to read, the more he can read. In MS agent 2 it will continue to read all of the text until Microsoft forces a break to perform a background function.
One of the things that I have notice is, if you do not use a visual aid, meaning in ultra Hal you do not select a agent, if you get tired of listening to ultra Hal reading, all you have to do is type in the next question, and ultra Hal will stop Reading.
This does not work if you are using a visual aid, because the text is handed over to the visual aid agent. Without a visual aid agent, the text gets handed over to the voice, text-to-speech reader, then you are limited by the text-to-speech reader.
Every text-to-speech reader, will read different lengths, I used the Ivona voices for my text-to-speech reader, and I have never reached a length that it can not read.
Sincerely, just voicing my opinion, while eating pronouns and drinking a nice cold glass of adjectives.
C load.
PS with Hal no character and my Sally Ivona voice selected, my ultra Hal can read all of this:
