Thread: Problems with TTS and speedcams

You like TTS_nuance, i like Google TTS, what are you trying to prove?

It is not a matter of personal taste, you are thinking of using Google TTS voices, but in reality it is not true.

iGO can not use the Google TTS voice and that's it. It works that way and we can not do anything about it......

Since you still do not believe what I tell you, so it is better that someone also answers who is more experienced than me, but the fact that two moderators have clicked Like to my posts it should already lead you to think I'm right.

To hear speech output you require a speech engine to be installed on your device[phone, in car unit etc]

As i have previously stated i use the Android default engine-Google TTS output engine.

You have to download your choice of language and gender. You can also set the voice pitch and rate.

This then is what you will hear on your output device.

The file that you enter into "content/voice" is only the book that the speech engine reads from.

So you see, what you hear is the google TTS voice reading from your selected text input.

The name that the voice says is written into the info file within the voice file, and if you have Serena written and choose a male voice you will get Serena speaking as a man.

For years I used an older version of igo primo with wav files for speed camera warnings.
Recently I bought a new phone (Android 9) and my old good igo primo doesn't work anymore.
So now after a lot of reading I managed to gather ..
1. iGO Basar 9.18.27.736574 - 13.June 2018
It works ok
2. Universal unisex TTS and engines v.1.x
Greek lang works ok
3. Vocalizer_e_tts_1.0.2.3t + Greek melina voice
It works ok

but I can't get the speedcameras warnings work in my phone !!!
I've tried many different sys.txt with no success.
How can I make it work ? Or it just can't be done ?

Speedcam alert help

I'm using iGO_World v.9.18.27.736653 - 19.JUN.2018. on android phone.
I would like to have voice alert for speedcam something like: Speed Camera Ahead.
At the moment I have visual and sound alert it only beeps when I approaching camera, but no voice warning.

My guess is I have to edit sys.txt file and should have that audio voice for that warning, right?
I looked up voice folder and for language pack I'm using, didn't find any audio file that would sound like: Speed Camera Ahead.

Can anybody help me how setup alerts so voice can warn me about speed camera ahead?

check if you have those lines into your sys.txt
