I am a member of the N1MM+ development team.

I just completed some measurements of the amount of time in between voicing of characters. I used the @ macro to voice the current receive frequency, and the "Use Logger+ Audio" option. On a 4-core HP Z400, with a standard (non-SSD) hard disk, the time from the completion of a character being voiced, to the start of the next character being voiced was consistently around 20 msec.

Hi,

I have for a few years used the voice keying features of N1MM, mainly when 
operating my station via remote from our city apartment. This has worked out 
fairly well and has been keeping my family asleep during the most intense 
moments of the night. But with the upgrade of N1MM to N1MM+ voice keying is not 
as smooth anymore. The biggest difference is that a slight delay is being 
introduced between letter and number files making the exchange sounding very 
robotic.

I’d like to hear what other solutions are out there. I am looking for something that 
lets me run a complete SSB contest without saying a word into the microphone. I want it to 
sound as natural as possible and it should handle sequential number exchanges or anything 
else contest promotors can throw at us as an exchange. It should be possible to use it with 
N1MM and/or Wintest. Software solution is preferred but I won’t rule out hardware if 
not software can provide this.

Is there anything like this out there?

73 de Björn,
