This button is for those dictionaries that come with pronunciations.

In you case, do you have such a dictionary or you're just expecting that some kind of text-to-speech enabled pronunciation?

I have the same problem, maybe.
I have installed espeak and i have inserted the string "espeak.exe -v en %GDWORD%", trying also with the full path, but without result: when clicking on the speech button or pressing Alt-S nothing happens.
Of course, the command espeak.exe works ok if executed from the command line, with or without parameters.
What is wrong?
If the button (or ALT-S) is for dictionaries that come with pronounciations, how is it possible obtain the execution of an external application like espeak?.
