Text to speech error recognizing english

Hi -- I sue text to speech all the time and I use English as the language. 

For the first time is years i get a message when i insert the text from notes that says "Unable to process this request.  Make sure the selected language matches your text".

Can you help? I am completely stuck and I have to have the audio, not having it is not an option. The slide doing this is 1.13.

Thank you!!!
