Thx Mike !

You are welcome.
However, you might like the attached new one below better..slightly modified to include speedcam announcements and a few other minor things specific to NextGen.
Put tts-speedcam-eng.zip in UX folder (remove any other tts-speedcam files).
Put Voice_TTS-nua-eng-us-JoeNSW.zip in content/voice folder and switch to it in NextGen settings.

Do you have an Android system TTS voice engine and voice installed and active (in main Android settings, not within Igo)?
Igo does not exactly use it's own TTS engine. It only needs a valid template TTS voice file, but then uses whatever engine and voice are native to Android.
Such as Pico, Google, Nuance, Svox, Ivona, etc, etc. You can find free and pay ones on Google Play...or search around this forum for same.

PS. the language of the Android TTS voice should match the language of the Igo voice file for best results.

Hello, I have a Note 3 and I checked the tts voice and it's works only if you have a Svox installed.

Are you able to upload the voice as well that you are using.

Probably far too old (Susan?) to work well. I Have not been able to even install it for a couple devices.
I use Nuance VocalizerEX (Vocalizer_EX_TTS_1.0.2.3L.apk) with Tom as the voice. Too big (400mb+) for me to upload, but you can probably find it.
But I also just downloaded and tried some others direct from Google Play:
SVOX Classic with trial Michael...Works (but will expire in a month or so)
Google TTS with "female US"...Works. And Free.
Ivona with Kendra..Does not work.
Others may work too, but there you have 3 choices recently verified working.

EDIT: I just made a slight modification to the voice file which may make it more compatible with certain Android TTS engines (example: it now works with Ivona/Kendra which is free).
Feel free to try it:
