@ kamoteka

Hi, very interesting you files. I am trying to make a good french canadian one, I would need some clarifications.

In this line:
/(?i)([\s,\.]r_art_s.*[\s,\.])ABEY(,*)(\.*)(\s+)(.*r_art_e[\s,\.])/-->"\1 ABBEY \2\4\5";ENGs_NQ

Could you explain me a bit more? I am used with the \x, and \r, but what about all the rest? If you could explain me the whole line when you get a chance I would rellay appreciate.

Thanks!

Frankly, I don't understand the detailed code either. I was just looking for a pattern and from what I saw in the rules.txt and the commands.csv files, the above code means:

if "ABEY" is found between "r_art_s" and "r_art_e" change it to "ABBEY".

Thank you for your useful post, i've looking for this for a long time.

I downloaded your Mod US version of TTS. It works nicely. Thank you very much for that. However there is one thing bothering me though, the word "route" is pronounced ˈˈraut\, as verb. It is supposed to be "rüt\ as noun. How can we fix that?

Thanks again!

Well, the thing is, route as a verb is spelled exactly the same as route as a noun, so how do we tell Susan or Dave the usage for route? Since route as a noun sounds like "root", you can try opening up the zipped voice file and look for the rules.txt file (its in the config folder) and change the occurrences "route" to "root". There are only two:

/(?i)([\s,\.]r_art_s.*[\s,\.])Rte(,*)(\.*)(\s+)(.*r_art_e[\s,\.])/-->"\1 Route \2\4\5";ENGs_TA
/(?i)([\s,\.]r_art_s.*[\s,\.])Rt(,*)(\.*)(\s+)(.*r_art_e[\s,\.])/-->"\1 Route \2\4\5";ENGs_TA

change to:

/(?i)([\s,\.]r_art_s.*[\s,\.])Rte(,*)(\.*)(\s+)(.*r_art_e[\s,\.])/-->"\1 Root \2\4\5";ENGs_TA
/(?i)([\s,\.]r_art_s.*[\s,\.])Rt(,*)(\.*)(\s+)(.*r_art_e[\s,\.])/-->"\1 Root \2\4\5";ENGs_TA

I will try that. Thanks again for your help!

kamoteka, thanks a lot for the modified files. i tried them and they seem to work good (i just tested on simulated route) in both Amigo & Igo. now, do i just create an empty txt file and rename it to EnglishUs6.9.lex for Amigo or is there some other way i need to create the zero-byte lex file you mentioned?

A zero byte lex file is the best for amigo - this you can make by creating an empty txt file and renaming it to EnglishUs6.9.lex. Or, you can use the "minimalist" EnglishUs6.9.lex version that I included with the voice files I uploaded.

I downloaded the TTS package and installed in my asus p552w of 128ram. But when I select the voice there's a beep but no voice anounce why is that so? Did I install correctly? When I unrar the package, there's content folder, tts_log and some Dll files do I put all in my Igo8 folder or only the content folder? I realize the voices in the content folder is very small like less than 100kb. Thks and need yr advise.

ok thanks. i am using the .lex file you posted and seems to work fine in Amigo in the simulated routes i tried.

thanx guys: http://www.mediafire.com/?1xpnngcyqy1 seems to b the BEST TTS with igo8 ... im impressed it tells the destination is on the right or the left! is that all the time? ive only tested this on simulation tho

Now Kletodatheif, You are a genius, thanks for the BEST TTS with igo8 WOW! its really great, this program even says my name before its says destination is on the right or left! I could not believe it. You said you only tested this on simulation!!! Are you paralysed from your knee down that you cant drive and check it for yourself. You need a reward for putting this little beauty up.

Actually, I am the one who prepared and posted the above package. However, I don't remember having it say your name before announcing that destination is on left or right.

This package uses the high quality TTS engine for IGO8 R3 released by Jetmouse. The voice files were based on ladude's voices way back from igo8 demo. I made some modifications on the lex file and I added the commands on the voice files to announce the side of the street destination.

This is a great package. The best I have heard so far. Is there any chance you could make the EnglishGB voices (Kate & Simon) like your US pack?

@ nFKT

I downloaded your file from 3 different places, none of them can be extracted. Get plenty of errors!

I packed with high compression & 7zip that might be why, I'll reupload.


EDIT: Unpacked fine with 7zip, packing with winrar now. Mirrors up in a bit.

EDIT2: winrar mirrors: (lemme know if there are any errors now, they unpacked fine on my end with winrar & 7zip)

Thanks for the voice files. I have them working on my Mio C310x. I drove around a little to test the device with these files installed and I noticed that it did not announce "Route recalculation" when I went off-route. Also, I was wondering if these files enabled the announcements like "stay right/left" while approaching a turn or exit. I do not hear the attention tone either. Any help regarding any or all of these issues is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

works on hp rx5910, but just turn let or right without names on many non-major roads/streets.

xdrive, I have been trying to get TTS to work on my 5915 for ages but never get a peep from the TTS voices, I have read all the posts and completed all the soft resets/ installs etc. with no luck.

Could you possibly give me a listing of which files you used and where you placed them, are you running from your device of off of the SD card?

Cheers for any help you can give me.

kamoteka,

i don't use the TTS voices, opting for the USA English Amy voice instead. is it possible to mod that file to also announce the side of street where the destination is located (ie: your destination is in 300ft on the right) ? could you post pointers on how to accomplish that? thanks.

Kamoteka,

Thanks for the voice files. I have them working on my coolnavi430. Only I noticed that it did not announce "Route recalculation" when I went off-route and I can't see street numbers on the bottom of the screen.Can this be fixed?Thanks.

One more thing if you can fix.If you are on highway say enter 400 or 427 .Can you change to say 4oo north or east to point you where to enter .Thanks.
