iGo Nextgen & TTS - USER MANUAL for installation

[hardcoreita]

Hello,

After a lot of time on the forum, research and many try with TTS Voices and iGo Nextgen, I finally made it work.
I'll described how I proceed,even if I guess there are other ways to do it.

How I proceed ?

What you need to make TTS works :

- The App VocalizerEx2.
- Download TTS files for your language.
- Create a folder named "VolcaizerEx2" at root of Internal Memory.
- Copy iGo_Israel at root of Internal Memory (I didn't tried with Barasoft, Gift, World...).
- Copy downloaded language files at the right place.
- Set language with TTS App and iGo.

for information, I'm on Android 7.0, Rooted with Magisk and with Xposed.
I put all on External Memory but It will work on internal memory of course.

The app VocalizerEx2

Download TTS files for your language

There are two files to download.
One will be for VocalizerEx2, the other one for iGo_Israel\content\voice

VocalizerEx2 :

- On your Internal Memory, create a folder named "VocalizerEx2"
- Go to this website [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (an other link to download files [Only registered and activated users can see links. ])

Choose "Vocalizer Expressive Version 2" as Synthesizer
Choose your language
Then download one of the Premium High file. (This file is a .msi so you'll need a Computer with windows to extract needed files)

You will have to install this file and once it is done, go to C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\VocalizerExpressive\2.2\ and copy the folder "languages" to \VocalizerEx2 you created earlier.

iGo_Israel

- You can find this file for your language here ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) at the end of the post.
- Copy thie file .zip to iGo_Israel\content\voice

You should have something like that :

\iGo_Israel

\content

\voice

\French_universal_unisex_andTTS-Boki_Srb_v.1

\VocalizerEx2

\languages

\common

\clm.dat
\lid.dat
\synth_med_fxd_bet3f22.dat
\sysdct.dat

\frf

\speech

\components

\frf_audrey_premium-high_1-0-2.dat

\ve

\ve_pipeline_frf_audrey_22_premium-high_1-0-2.hdr

Now that all files are correctly copied, you'll have to set your Apps so they can use TTS Voice.

For VocalizerEx2, go to your settings > language > Text-to-Speech (It will depend of your Android version) and choose VocalizerEx2 as default TTS App, then click on the icon next to it o enter VocalizerEx2 settings.
The Voice data folder should be the right one, you just have to select your language and exit.

Then launch iGo_israel, go to settings and Regional.
Select your TTS language and all is done !!!

Note : If you have some strange pronunciation, delete files in iGo_Israel\content\phoneme\



Other ways/files I tried with/without success.

The link is dead for French voice so I don't know if it can works with others.

TTS in Android is working but I can't see it in iGo settings

With success

TTS is working in both Android and iGo

I hope it will help some people
