Hi Ishe; Where does one find the NVDAInstallation Directory? The only place that I find a folder with other files is in the root of the CDrive/Program Files and there is not a folder in there named "userConfig". All help is deeply appreciated. Thanks much. Take care. Mike

You should browse to a directory called "userConfig". Here you will see a file called "nvda.ini", trusting that your Windows Explorer or any file manager you may be using shows file extensions. Make sure that NVDA is not running. Open this INI file in your favourite text editor: find a section labelled "[speech]". Find a line that starts with "voice=", for instance mine reads like this: voice = en\en variant = max rate = 55 pitch = 40 inflection = 75 volume = 100 Make sure the voice=value is set to "en\en" for British English: (well you can change to American or any other later on). I only referred to deleting unneeded language files, but you can ignore this. However, if you are cock sure (like What I do) that you will never speak any other language other than English, you can later on delete these extra files in the directory called "Locale". I hope this helps. If this does not do the magic, then you can contact me off list and I will send you my Ini file which you can overwrite yours, then change the settings later on. May God bless you in your endeavour trusting that this works. Cheers, Ishe Knowledge humbles great men, astonishes the common man, and puffs up the little man. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Boodram" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2010 3:17 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Need some help with NVDAPlease > Hi, do pardon my confusion, but where can I find that.
