We’ve had a few help tickets with this issue.

Please download and unzip the attached qtexttospeech\_winrt.zip file:

[qtexttospeech\_winrt.zip](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/uploads/short-url/y5dP7M6IleonQP0p415GZEGyOdd.zip) (26.0 KB)

Then, with Scrivener closed on your PC, please move the `qtexttospeech_winrt.dll` file into the “texttospeech” folder in the Scrivener installation folder.

On most PC’s, the default installation location for Scrivener is at `C:\Program Files\Scrivener3\texttospeech\`.

You can drop this file into that folder while Scrivener is closed and on relaunch, the voice should be present again in the speech settings. Re-select the desired voice settings, and then speech should work fine.
