Hi ! 
I have just installed WD on new pc with microsoft XP operating system.
I will like to activate the weather talk funktion but no success.
All the switches is activated.
When i check out the select speech driver nothing is detected!
Could that be the case?
No sound at all, but the text string appears in the voice output window.
Do i forgot something?

I believe you have to download the speech drivers. They are found on the download page.
Ok many thanks for your reply! 
I take a look at the download page for the speech driver.
But i am still not sure of this, it’s seem like the drivers there are for win 95/98 systems.
I’am using a win xp system, which of the files do i need for the xp system?

I use XP also. I downloaded the text to speech drivers. The talking weather works fine.
Ok fine!
That was the clue, working fine now. nice voice.
Many thanks Knut/LA9QFA
Ok at the pc, but not at my website
In the Weather talker setup:
I check:
inklude a link to the talking file on my web
Upload the mp3 file istead off the Wav file
Create a mp3 file (use lame.exe)
When i push the link that was made on my website windows media player starts and try to play a file called talkingnew2.
But it will not play the file, the player try to open the file but it stops.
Any suggestion to this issue?

Do you have the voice file upload times set. I also have the file upload about 7 minutes after its creation to give it time to be created.
Yes, my upload times is activated, just like you describe.
Is there anything else i could look for?
The setup seems to be correct i belive.

At one time I had to enable custom talk to get the custom talk file to work.
I needed both main switches on for the file to be created and uploaded. Does the custom file work that is on the computer drive? There is a button on the setup page play file. Remember custom speech is not the same as custom file for speech is. they have separate buttons and upload times.
Sorry the sound file at my web site refuse to play.
I give up, and have deactivated the weather talk.
Anyway, thanks for the replies Weatherbee!

I found that MP3 creation did not seem to work so I stuck with the WAV file.
The file that actually seems to hold the speech is talkingnew.wav and not talkingnew2.wav (which is always empty) - explore the wdisplay folder on your PC and you should see the files there.
In the end I decided to use the custom FTP upload function to upload talkingnew.wav at my chosen times (5 minutes past each hour as the speech file is created on each hour).
As I use a custom webpage to show the weather data, it was a matter then of putting a link to talkingnew.wav on my server. But if you use the default page generated you could always add a link in datahtm0.txt.
Does this sound of any use to you.
It seems to work this way.
Cheers
