The speex codec is now used for creating voices, so you would have to either 
use the voice that is provided on the daily builds page for your ipod, or make 
your own with cygwin. I think there are also some newer voices created, 
although I'm not sure about that.

  Hi all,
   
  I recently purchased the above off someone on the Rockbox forum as the screen 
is damaged.
   
  The Ipod works fine otherwise and as I am totally blind I want to be able to 
take advantage of Rockbox and the voice files.
   
  I have owned Archos units and Iriver units over the years and therefore I am 
familiar on how to load RB and get it talking on these units.
   
  I think I'm doing something wrong though...
   
  I've downloaded the english_reed.voice and tryed the latest Ipod Video 
release and Ipod Video 64mb releases.
   
  The unit's not talking.
   
  Am I correct that both these versions of RB will work and all I need do is.
   
  1.  Download rockbox.
   
  2.  Extract to the route of the unit so that.rockbox can be seen in the unit 
with it's sub-directories underneath.
   
  3.  Download Rockbox fonts and extract these into the .rockbox directory.
   
  4.  Download and extract theenglish_reed.voice into the langs folder.  
chaning the filename to english.voice.
   
  Am I missing anything out?
   
   
  Thanks,
  Dj Paddy
