Oh, you must be using an old version of the app. I dropped iSpeech support a while back. Yes, Android TTS should hopefully be a workaround. If possible, you can download the latest an use the new Amazon Polly sounds (that replaced iSpeech)

Looks like I was using iSpeech.org (according to the help file in FCD). The help file describes two ways to get TTS; iSpeech and the built-in Android TTS. Just tried setting up the Android TTS, and that worked, so I guess that solves my problem. Still not sure why iSpeech stopped working, but it probably doesn't matter. Thanks for your help!!

Hi Ken,

I'm not sure. I tried a test now and successfully download some Polly French sounds.
Are you trying to download Amazon Polly sounds?

For years I've been downloading French speech for my French/English flashcards. But just over the past week or so the Text to Speech download has stopped working. It seems to download just fine, but the little start icon no longer shows up on the flashcard. Did something change?
