This was indicated by the Cereproc lead developer, and I confirmed it immediately ) VoiceAttack has synths that run out of a pool so you can (if you really wanted to) have multiple TTS voices running at the same time (and be able to manage the synths if you wanted to kill a command or whatever and have the tts stop talking). I will skip the boring details, but it boils down to the fact that Cereproc TTS voices can not be instantiated more than five times in a running application. The folks at Cereproc provided me a with a free license and I chose the, 'Heather (Scotland)' voice.
I was finally able to get to this item for a bit.
