Hi Ronan,
The eSpeak Data folder was where you said it would be; does it need
renaming? if so, what should I rename it?
I went to the language list in NVDA, but there was no sign of Irish
(Gaelic). Alphabetically, it went straight from Icelandic to italian, and
I checked the whole list twice.
It can't be too far away now?
Robbie
