Can you both please clarify exactly which voices / synthesizers you are
using? Sandesh, I'm not familiar with a synth called "AP4", but did you
mean SAPI 4"?

It sounds like you managed to get back to a voice you can use, but if you
do set the synthesizer to something which doesn't work, two ways to
overcome it are:

1) Revert NVDA to the last saved configuration by pressing NVDA+CONTROL+R.
If all else fails, pressing this three times quickly will reset NVDA back
to factory settings.

2) Or you can change the synthesizer again, if you are happy to try doing
so without speech:
- Press NVDA+CONTROL+S to open the synthesizer dialog
- Press W for Windows OneCore voices or E for eSpeak-NG.
- Press ENTER. The new synthesizer should load and start speaking.

Note that this assumes Windows OneCore is the only (or at least first
alphabetically) synthesizer beginning with W and eSpeak NG is the only or
first beginning with E.

Regards

Quentin.

I have had a similar problem. When I switch to Sapi5 I get silence.
ESpeak
and ?windows core are fine.

If we don't take time to think before we speak we may find ourselves in a
situation where our speech becomes a bit stinky!
