Hi Steve, I wonder where the problem is. So with all the extracted files in the synth driver folder it still can't see it. I wonder if you'd have more luck if you extracted directly into the NVDA synth driver folder. Just a thought. I've just looked in my NVDA synth driver folder. In the synth driver folder in the NVDA programme files folder there are only the Espeak files. In the synth driver folder under user configuration there are only the svox pico files, namely svox-pico-data, pico.py, pico.pyo and svox-pico.dll.

So underneath SynthDrivers, there was another folder called svox-pico-data, which contains 12 files, plus a few DLLs from that synth. Still not being detected by NVDA as far as I can see.

You are extracting, aren't you? Don't just put the downloaded file in the synth driver folder. You unzip it and put the extracted files in there. John.
