While i welcome and am very happy with the latest stable version of Rockbox which does work very well there's an issue with the latest Rockbox Utility which has yet to be addressed.
The issue is that when a blind or vision-impaired person creates a voice file from a SAPI5 voice for either a Sansa Clip Plus or Clip Zip The Rockbox Utility reports that it was successful but when restarting the player itself the player may or may not speak for a second and then the player seems to freeze. I have no idea if there's any sort of error message on the screen due to the fact that I would need it to be announced vocally for me to know. I downloaded the voice from the Rockbox site and then attempted to create a voice file for English-US. Like I said above the Rockbox Utility goes through all the steps to generate the voice file and reports it has done so successfully. I safely remove the player and disconnect it from the computer. I select English-US and the voice either speaks for a second or doesn't speak at all at which point the player is frozen. When the player is reset by engaging the power button for 30 seconds I can then restart the player and it comes up using English and speaking with the voice I downloaded from the Rockbox site. If I try to use the English-US voice I had just created the player freezes again. I'm stuck using the very low quality voice available from the site. It would be greatly appreciated by a lot of blind and vision-impaired people if this could please be sorted out. Many thanks for any action on this. laz
