Hi everyone,

I bought a Nexus 7 3 weeks ago.  I've been busy and haven't had much time to 
play with it, but this morning I decided I'd download and install the Acapela 
text-to-speech engine because I've been hearing good things about the quality 
of the voices.

After downloading and installing the Acapela engine, I went into TalkBack 
settings and changed from the original Google voice to the Acapela speech 
engine.  I assumed, incorrectly, that the engine would just change, and I'd 
still have speech.  As soon as I confirmed that I wished to change to the 
Acapela speech engine, my Nexus went silent.  I now have no speech, and, at 
this moment, no sighted assistance.  What do I need to do to get speech back?  
Is there a way to turn TalkBack off and then back on again without sighted 
assistance?  I'm running Android 4.2.2.

Thanks for any help or advice.  I can't believe that one can't switch speech 
engines without sighted help… please tell me this isn't the case?
