Hi, Thank you for the response. I must be doing something wrong still as I still can not get it to work. I have the Text to Speech screen open when I do this but it does not seem to do anything. Am I making a stupid mistake or do I need to use only Voiceover if I want it to go faster? I really would prefer using the Text to Speech function if possible.
