Windows 11 TTS With ARC
Can ARC utilize the Windows 11 Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine in conjunction with ChatGPT, instead of the other TTS skills provided within ARC? This would allow users who are implementing projects on Windows 11 Single Board Computers (SBCs) to take advantage of the onboard TTS capabilities built into the Windows operating system.

I'm in the process of refactoring my EZ-Script code to Python for my R2-D2 project. I have numerous scripts in use, but the good news is that I can refactor them gradually-allowing some parts to continue using the old scripting while introducing Python code to others. This incremental approach is quite beneficial! For this extensive task, I aim to...

Choosing EZ-Script Or Python Sleep?
Should I use the sleep(timeMs) EZ-Script API command in Synthiam ARC, or is it better to use the standard Python sleep function, such as import time; time.sleep(0.05)? I have been programming using the time.sleep() function, which is standard practice in Python for introducing delays in scripts. However, I recently noticed the sleep(timeMs) command...
