@ Traker1001 - tried Quartz skin and uninstallin & reinstallin addon per ur suggestions, but still gettin script failed error. i dont know why i'am gettin those errors like you when in my power options is set never to off display & computer. i even turned off xbmc screensaver for the sake of tryin to remedy this problem.
bottom line: addon does work if i disable & then enable it, but once i exit out of xbmc it no longer works . i turn on xbmc & i am welcomed with a xbmc tts: script failed error. in order for me to use the addon again, i have to go thru the process of manually disable & then enable it.

@ Traker1001 - when i go back in to xbmc, it no longer works w/ script failed. i have to go thru menus to disable & then enable for it to work again. once i exit xbmc it will no longer work. i gotta repeat the process.
thanks for lettin me know about the F12 hotkey shortcut, which will save me time. i would rather like to get this corrected the right way tho. also, it does works with anna & my primary voice tts engine. im able to adjust the settings too. i didnt need NVDA, which i uninstalled.
update on F12 key: works good. i have to rmbr to DISABLE the addon before i exit out of xbmc in order for it to work again when i re-enter back to xbmc. if not, then i get script failed where i have to do the disable then enable trick.

I'll have more time in a few hours to look at this. Alexp4re: I did look at your log when you first posted it, but the error isn't very useful. It is being raised by comtypes, which is basically the library between the addon and SAPI and, as is normal for these errors, it isn't very informative about the root cause. You mentioned your primary speech engine. What specifically do you mean by that? Is there something installed other then Windows' default?
Also, your error is unrelated to Traker1001's error, as yours is a failure to even initialize the speech object and a different sort of error.
There is likely something different about your setup as you are the only one reporting this issue. My first suspect is whatever you are referring to as your primary speech engine, but if there is anything else that may be relevant, please let me know so I can possibly try to duplicate the conditions, or at least have some data to go on.

@ Traker1001 - yes, it starts right away if i disable b4 i exit then no script failed. but if not disable when exitin xbmc, upon loadin xbmc will result script failed error.
@ ruuk - u ask about my primary speech engine, its actually just a voice software from AT&T 'Crystal' that is more pleasing voice than Anna that i prefer to use. i can switch it to Anna in the addon settings tho.
Ruuk - my question to u is that why am i gettin script error on loadin up xbmc if ur addon is enabled? i have to disable then enable the addon in order for it to work. (above desribes more details)

alexp4re: I am able to duplicate your error, but only when switching voices between Anna and the AT&T Crystal. Can you try setting the voice to Anna in the addon settings and make sure to click OK on the dialog. Then restart xbmc a few times and see if it speaks on startup without changing anything.

@ ruuk - settin it on Anna still gives me script failed. tryin diff. skin also gave me the same results, so its not skin related.
i notice ur repo just updated the addon right now. too bad it didnt fix my problem.

@ ruuk - yes, settin it to Anna & doin a restart will give me script failed when i re-enter xbmc. as long as i remember to manually disable the addon before i exit xbmc, when i re-enter xbmc then i won't get script error.
i wanted to bring to ur attention with the latest update on addon that it's seems unstable. i.e., the addon will stop workin for no reasons or i choose a music song while its playin & the addon stops workin after. it never happen before your recent update to 0.0.7.8. not sure if its a isolated problem w/ my computer.

@ ruuk - hi. i open cmd under administrator & enter: C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\xbmc.exe -p
and i get this: c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
* it's not starting xbmc in portable mode per your instructions.
