Hi, it would be helpful to try what's available in unstable: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/20140208/images/ so that we can spot whether that's a regression over the past few days, or whether the regression was in the uploaded debian-installer package already. I seem to recall speech synthesis was OK when I uploaded the images, which I tested on amd64. I haven't checked the dailies yet. (It would also help to mention which exact image you're using, cdrom, netboot, etc.) Mraw, KiBi.
