vocalizerex must be put in the root not in igo, but you must also have the similar item in Loquendo TTS
serves to improve the quality of voice

I did get my smartphone to work with vocalizerex, but not inside of igo (there is no voice to select from vocalizerex from inside igo). What exactly do I put into the igo voice folder? I thought vocalizerex was to bypass the problem of not having loquendo 7 tts in the first place since every single link for Loquendo TTS 7 is dead that I've seen across all sites I've been to.

For American voices:
put Voice_TTS-nua-eng-us-f1-lua-dri40-vssq5f22.zip inside iGO\content\voice . Delete from iGO\content\phoneme everything in there or you may find the voices speaks gibberish.
This file you can search for in this forum and you should find it.
Inside VocalizerEx you should put the voices Samantha or ava or Allison there. vocalizerEx folder is put in the main directory of your smartphone and not inside iGO.
Having said this, the voice inside igo still doesn't sound like the Samantha tested on the phone, but otherwise is functional for speaking street names.
For British voices:
Pretty much the same thing, but the file put into iGO\content\voice will have the word UK in it, you should be able to find the UK file in this thread quite easily unlike the American voices.

ok I got it somewhat working. It looks like whether the voice if female or male depends on what is inside the vocalizerex folder, but how the accent sounds depends on what is inside the Igo voice folder.
So if you picked Samantha (a US voice) in vocalizer folder but put a male UK voice into Igo's folder, you will get a female voice sounding british. Change the vocalizer voice to Ava US voice and Igo will still sound exactly the same, because of the male UK voice inside Igo's voice folder.
I guess somewhat working is better than not working at all.
Question - does anyone have any US voices that work for Igo, for Igo's voice folder? version 6 wont work for Igo

Why would you choose different voice file for a voice engine? Always, always use same voice file designed for that voice engine.

The TTS Samantha voice for igo speaks gibberish when paired with Samantha tts for vocalizerex and I haven't found any other US female voices for igo. The only other US female voices for vocalizer is Allison and Aba and neither is available for igo that I've found.
Am using Nexus 4, with 4.4.4 Android, and vocalizerex of vocalizer_e.tts_1.0.2.3k, and igo primo 9.6.29.383117
Could you please tell which files you put in the iGO folder and where? The content/voice folder is supposed to be a zip file.
**Edit 1**
Ok, I got the zip file to be put in the content/voice directory from this post [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
However, the street names pronounced are gibberish. I previously had the same problem (not on Nuance/Vocalizer) and another forum member suggested that I had a bad voice file. So it looks like the voice file from the above post may be incompatible with the Vocalizer TTS. Anybody has links to latest voice files?
**Edit 2**
The other file I mentioned is a Loquendo file, and it is for English UK, however, it seems to work well with Nuance. here is the file if anyone is interested [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Hopefully someone will find a working Eng-US .zip file that works.
** Edit 3***
Anyone trying it on older phones and CyanogenMod. I had to install the VocalizerEx directory on to the internal drive (sdcard0 if your file explorer shows sdcard0 and sdcard1) to get the Vocalizer working. I have my iGo folder in the extenral SD card.
**Edit 4**
I took some old En-US files and modified the info.ini files to see if I can get iGo to recognize the voice file. I was able to do so, but the problem with gibberish continued. So as a way to find out which file causes the problem, I deleted the entire contents and copied the contents from the Eng-UK file (from edit 2 above), and yet the gibberish continued. So it looks like the gibberish comes from some other part, not the voice.zip file.
The TTS is working for me now, however the voice looks very spaced out, changing the setting in the Android TTS setup to make it say faster doesn't affect the iGO's spaced out TTS.

If you are using Android then try removing any phoneme directory contents. These .ph files can make some tts voices sound jibberish on android.

Removed the 3 phone files and no more gibberish - thank you. I do recall someone else mentioning to erase these files which I didn't try until now.
