Hi Matej,

I believe I was the only one who was posting about this issue. One of
the devs finally contacted me off list and he finally realized that
the English-US file had not been updated and the solution was to
create a voice using the English file instead. If other language files
are also not updated in 3.14 then it's a bigger bug than was realized.

Since that time I have become aware of other speech bugs here and
there such as some voice prompts not being spoken, the speaking of the
radio frequencies not working 100% if at all, and just things that
were spoken in past versions not being spoken in 3.14. I hesitated to
bring them up due to the poor response on list plus no one else
putting in their 2 cents with the bug in the lang file and voice
generation.

I've been using 3.14 due to the increased battery life but doing so
you give up some of the speech prompts you were used to in past
versions. Simple things like Bookmark created and others. Sorry but I
haven't kept notes of everything that I've noticed not being spoken
anymore.
