Parallelize command line ?

[Rahan]

Hi,
I've just purchased TextAloud V3.023 + an additionnal AT&T Voice.
My concern is about the ability of several TACommand instances to interact with TextAllowed :

If I execute TACommand /fromfile="TA.txt" /tofile="TA.mp3" /voice="Microsoft SAM" everything works fine
If I execute 2 instances of TACommand simultaneuously, the second instance will produce an error : "[SafeCall Exception]: BASS_Init failed, Error = 14"

Question 1 : is there a way to have this work ? Before purchasing the CommandLine version, I really need to know if there is a workaround. Using the command line sequentially is not usable for me.
Question 2 : What about the TextAloud 3 API ? I have read the documentation but I didn't find any section talking about the possibility to parallelize the process.

Thanks a lot for your answers.
Regards,
Rahan

Hi Rahan,

Unfortunately neither the API or Command line utility support running requests in parallel. I'll look at why you're seeing the BASS initialization error from the command line tool, we should be queueing up requests to run sequentially when the command line tool is used.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your answer. It would be great to have a FIFO queue at least for not missing the parallel requests.

I'll then look forward for the next versions with full multi-threading support and dynamic forking

Cheers,
