@Richard.

Yeah I did try a reboot a couple of times but no joy. I havn't however tried an ARC reinstall. I'll try it now.

Cheers.

Well I just re-installed ARC, no change. It's still using the same default voice as before no matter what voice I select, whether it's Cepstral or the other two default voices, or changing the speech settings.

When you said you copied over the Cepstal voice did you just copy the files into their directories or did you use a self extracting windows installer file?

I have done a Windows Easy transfer which contained the .exe file. I installed the voice and Cepstral tools, and entered the activation key. Do you think I have missed something doing it this way?

I am stumped... sounds like it should work Steve... Hmmmm

Yeah, it is a strange one. Like I said, the voice and effect works with Windows and a third party screen reader app, just not with ARC. Weird. confused confused
