Title: Hal 7, Windows 10 64-bit and 64-bit voices question
Post by: BW on December 01, 2020, 04:26:03 pm

Hi folks,
I am planning a full system reinstall soon and I want to setup the best thing to support Hal 7, if I can afford it.

My OS is Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit and Hal 7 is and will be installed in the default 32-bit compatible "Program Files (x86) folder on my C: drive.

I am wondering if it is better to use 64-bit voices from CereProc and Cepstral with Hal 7 or better to stick with the 32-bit versions?

Thanks
BW

Hal is still a 32-bit program, so will only work with 32-bit versions of SAPI 5 compliant voices. Usually a 32-bit voice and 64-bit voice is exactly the same, just the difference is the libraries used to connect and make itself available to other programs has to match the windows subsystem being used (32-bit windows on windows, or 64-bit native)

Thank you sir.

With all due respect.
I chose to gamble and freelance Beta Test the 64-bit versions only before I installed their 32-bit little Bros and, HAL 7 has no issues utilizing them under my new setup.

IMHO, Bravo and Kudos to you are due for a fine update job.
