Hi Steve, that's exactly where I said. Instructions from original post below.
How does that differ from the correct way?
The file is a self extracting archive. Copy the extracted files to the NVDA
synth drivers folder. To do this go to start menu, arrow down to NVDA, right
arrow to open the submenu, press enter on Explore User Configuration, then
arrow down to synth drivers and press enter to open the folder. Paste the
extracted files in there.
You can select the Svox Pico synth by going to the NVDA synthesizer menu,
then set your preferred voice in voice settings.
John.

Hi John,
I solved it. The problem was that incomplete instructions were given in the
original post.
If you have the portable version of NVDA, as I do, because I use it on keys
etc, you need to not put it directly in the synthDrivers folder but in
\nvda\userconfig\synthDrivers, then it will work.
All the best
Steve

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.

Hi John,
Yes, I downloaded a single Zip, then extracted it into the correct folder.
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.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve, having reviewed your post I notice you refer to a single file,
not a number of files. 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.
