Thread: Universal unisex TTS and engines v.1.x

Hello everybody,

I am facing a strange issue trying to get TTS voices working on both Igo Primo and NextGen on my Android 6 device.
I installed VocalizerEx2 TTS engine, and language pack. When I run a trial it works normally.
In Igo/content/voice I installed the "French_universal_unisex_and TTS-Boki_Srb_v.1.1.zip" mentionned in post 1.
When I go in Igo to parameters I can select French universal unisex android TTS, and I get the sample according to th voice selected in Vocalizer engine.

But when it comes to navigation, most of the time it remains quite, no guidance, it speaks may be one time over 10.

I tryed to replace the "French_universal_unisex_and TTS-Boki_Srb_v.1.1.zip" in the Igo/content/voice file by "French-Can_universal_unisex_andTTS-Boki_Srb_v.1.0.zip" and I get the instructions normally.

Can anybody have a logical explanation to this? I would say this is related to corrupted file, but other should have met the same issue and I didn't see anything about it. Does anyone have the french TTS file working?

Thanks

I come back with my problem, since it seems I was not complete enough.

The Igo Primo is Igo Israel version 9.6.29.636868.

The Igo Nextgen is Igo World 9.18.27.736653.

None of them are skinned but remain in original version.

The maps are Here 2019Q2.

All is located in the internal memory.


I tried on different devices (Android 6 and Android 9 smartphones, and Android 8 tablet, except Primo on the Android 8), and I got always the same issue, so it doesn't seem related to the used device.

Just to summarize, as explained previously, the drawings work normally, with natural voices, the instructions come normally, I have an issue with the TTS voices to get the name of streets anounced.
The TTS engine is installed and works normally, but with the French universal unisex TTS .zip file installed in Igo/content/voice, I can select it as voice in teh Igo parameters, I get the trial announcement , but the instructions are missing when it comes to navigation (I get may be about 1 of 10). If I replace this file with the French canadian TTS file I get the instructions back.

But I observe an other problem : in some cases, the street name is not correct : I get strange words in the middle of the street name. For example, instead of "Rue de la Montat" it will say something like "Rue vilavila de la Montat".
I read on the forum this could be related to the phoneme file (I had this issue on an other device running Igo 8.3 on WinCE, and deleting phoneme files solved the problem, thanks), but in this case the phoneme files are not installed.
I tried with an older map (Here 2018Q3), but same issue with the same street names.

I spent hours and hours to search answers on the forum before asking for help, but didn't find what I need.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help.

I tried the files from Phildu91 and I endly could get all the instructions without the strange word I sometimes had with the french canadian TTS file. I tested all his versions, the "French_universal_unisex_andTTS-Phildu91_v.1.6.zip" sounds to me to be the best one for NextGen, but is not accepted by Primo : I can see it in the language parameters, select it, get the trial, but when I want to confirm it the program exits...So I choosed for Primo the "Voice_TTS-Android_++_FR_by_Phildu91.zip".

All af this need to be tested more deeply but it seems to work not to bad...Thanks to eveybody, particularly to Phildu91.

Just an other question : how to do if I want to change the way it says some instructions? I read about the "dictionary.voice" file inside the TTS zip, but I it mainly concerns display and warning, I didn't see the guidance instructions..but may be I'm tired with all this tests and I didn't look good.

@ pascalgps:
you have to edit config_database.lua into voice file
and make desired changes
