Having 2 problems with TTS. One I've had, but didn't bother to report, and the other started with the Windows 1803 update.
1) With the 1803 update, it seems the PI will not use any other voice regardless of what is selected as the system default voice in Windows.
Because of the above I tried the google voice option again..
2) Using google voice and a system variable in the speech string makes a mess of the spoken string..
Example: The time is now $time On $$date

2. if you use $$date instead of $date, HS3 inserts some <say-as type="date"> tags that Google don't understand.
"The time is now $time On $date" works fine for me with google tts.

The interesting thing on TTS voice issue, until the 1803 update, I could use <voice required="name = Microsoft Voice Name Here"> to override the default with one of the other installed voices. That no longer works.
I suspect, (need to investigate) the 1803 update may have 'upgraded' my 32bit voices with 64bit versions..

Having the same issues as ServiceXp, So I'm guessing it is a 64bit issue?
