Symptoms

When logged on as a user with no administrative privileges, speech output from 'Peedy' is not audible, even though the registry permissions have been changed.

Cause

NTFS File System requires addition permission to be applied to the Speech Engine and the location in which the speech engine temporarily writes to whilst in use.
