Reply With QuoteYou can often read that car head units with certain processors (ROM) have problems processing TTS voices.

one reason why I only use the radio in the car, navigation on a smartphone or tablet.
Thanks to iGO and Loquendo-TTS, there is no need for a large display, the announcement is clear, distinct and completely sufficient as a signpost 👍😍

@ BIRBANTE
I have Vocalizer installed and found the setting to replace words but still no idea how to change the accent .
As I said, it's not a real problem but I was just curious how TTS handles the accents in a word.
[ Edit ]
Strange, I found this one : Voice_TTS-svox-dut-f1-lua.zip
That one pronounces the words correct, tested on my tablet but when I add it
in de voice dir in my car Head unit ( exact same config as the tablet ) I can select it in the settings in iGO but
when I tab on it there is no sound.
When I select Voice_TTS-Pro-Android-Next-Nuance(ve)-Dutch-Xander-kajoe-v.9.181.zip sound is ok except the
accents of course.
I don't understand why the first one does work on tablet but not in the car.
On both devices the same TTS engine ( Vocalizer TTS ) installed and set as preferred TTS.Last edited by rider; 3rd April 2023 at 10:36 AM.

@ rondoan
Thanx for thinking.
Yes, I read about that of course but in my opinion it's not a problem with the TTS engine not working because
it works with : Voice_TTS-Pro-Android-Next-Nuance(ve)-Dutch-Xander-kajoe-v.9.181.zip
But why not with : Voice_TTS-svox-dut-f1-lua.zip
I should say there is a difference in the file ?

There is an App on the Play Store that can help you, Text to Speech (TTS), I used it to create the audio files for the alerts in Italian for iGO, but it lets you listen to what you write. Use the system voice of the device so if you have Vocalizers installed use those.

If you use the Universal Unisex "engine" you are sure that it makes you use the system voices of your device, even the Google voice.
Since Google's voice has also improved a lot in recent years, have you tried Maps?
Because at least you can use that instead of the Vocalizers.

I think I know now why Voice_TTS-svox-dut-f1-lua.zip does not work in the car.
Car Android is v 6.0.1 and I cannot update Vocalizer tot version 3.7.2 while my tablet is Android 10 ( Vocalizer can update to 3.7.2 )
Latest version in the car I can use is v 3.4.3
Google Play says min Android 7 and higher for version 3.7.2
That's the only difference between tablet and car I can think of.
Still no idea why that voice does not play and the other does, there must be some difference between them .
