Raspberry Pi 5 With ARC Installed

@Athena, I am considering installing a Raspberry Pi 5 to function as an EZ-B. My question is, can I also connect an Arduino Mega to this Raspberry Pi, which is already configured as an EZ-B, and control both devices from a Windows PC using Synthiam ARC?

How To I Include Pauses In Speech Synthesis.

How can I incorporate natural pauses into a speech script using Synthiam ARC? For instance, I want it to say "HO pause HO pause HO" with noticeable pauses in between. Currently, my Santa head is saying "HO HO HO" too quickly, and I would like to slow it down for a more natural delivery.
