Hello and thank you for getting back. I did find the file, located in /etc/default/espeakup and it seems that it was set correctly with en-us which I'd assume would be the correct voice. For what ever reason though, it seems the en-us voice is the Scottish one. Not sure why this may be. The install I'm noticing this on is the talking installer for debian squeeze. I've tried out the 32 bit installer previously back with lenny and now both installers on squeeze and notice the same thing. After it asks me for my location and language which I set for english and us, it changes to the Scottish voice. It's really odd. Any more ideas of why this may be happening and how I can change it would be awesome. Also, thanks again for the /etc/conf.d/ idea. I was unaware of what exactly this file could be used for. yet another great thing to know. Take care. On 6/4/2011 12:38 AM, Joseph C. Lininger wrote: > Well, it depends on your distribution.
