When you do connect to Home and look for additional voices -- computer, do you have the filter set to 'ALL' instead of 'default' when looking for the voices?

No other companies do computer/TTS voices for TomToms, only TomTom themselves; it's strictly licenced from Loquendo, the company who they licenced the technology from (since changed to Nuance for newer models)

There were only ever two UK TTS voices for the Loquendo-equipped models - Kate and Simon.
Last time I looked, Simon wasn't available to download and I had to copy it from my other TomTom. I haven't looked on Home recently to see if he has returned to their library.
