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.

As an addition to this I tried the latest voice file from rockbox.org and
the latest build R21578 with exactly the same result. The same happens when
I create my own voice file as well.

Anyone have any tips that could fix this? Anyone else using voices on the
iPod 30GB having this issue? What confuses me is that it happens with the
stock voice as well as my own generated one.

Thanks.
