Hello,

Thanks for your reply. However, I do not use the Rockbox Utility as it is
inaccessible to screen readers (more on this in a separate post as I'd
like to help make it accessible, but I digress). I've always downloaded
voice files from the rockbox site manually, and it's with those that I'm
having the problem.

Also, my own voice file generated with my TTS was created using cygwin and
the configure script following a full checkout from SVN on 29 June 2009.

Both of the above are giving the problems detailed previously.

On a separate note, not to throw a stick into the hornet's nest, but I'm
now confused about this top-posting rule. I thought new replies went
below the original one to make the thread easier to read? Yours was the
opposite. Again sorry if I'm getting muddled here, no offence intended.

Thanks.

H.
