What happens if you go into Settings, change the speech back to Eloquence, then save your settings under Default? Then reload K1000 and see which speech you get. Have you tried that?

Something very strange has happened to my kurzweil. For some reason, it's voice has defaulted to microsoft narrator, which is horrid, rather than eloquence, which I prefer. I uninstalled, and re-installed, and still, the problem persists. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm running version 11, on a windows XP machine. Solstice Singer
