Hi,
If I remember right, in September 2013 when iGO launch iGO (2.4) 9.6.29.329069 - GP - BasarSoft. .apk has changes so it needed to change
tts_langname for example:
tts_langname="Greek" TO tts_langname="el-GR"
This is the only difference.
But the new edition of Loquendo 7.4 is compatible with all .apk files, so it better for you to use Loquendo 7.4
Don't forget, tts-engine you find here are compatible with Android 2.2 to Android 4.1.
If you have problem with the engine (voice stop working) that it happened due:
Low memory in your device
A lot of programms are running (back) in your device.
If you use Android >4.1
So, in this case. use the voice .zip file and try to buy from the store Svox or Acapela TTS Engine.

In first page it is written that apk is compatible with android 4.+.+
So andrioid 4.3 is covered or not?
What you mean by "If you use Android >4.1 use the voice .zip file and try to buy from the store Svox or Acapela TTS Engine."
Thanks.

Thanks for you post!
I have already modify the first page: System Requirments:Android 2.4 up to Android 4.1

Loquendo TTS Engines for Android were in the market before 2 years, then Loquendo withdrew the engines from the market.
On 30 September 2011, Nuance (one of Loquendo's main competitors) announced that it had acquired Loquendo
SVOX was acquired by Nuance Communications in 2011.

So, now you can find in the market only Svox TTS Engines. If you like you can try to buy Acapela TTS Engines.
The cost of each engine are low, with an average 3-5 Euros.

To have TTS (or TTS Pro) in iGO you need the engine and the apk (you can buy from the market).
Furthermore, you need and a voice .zip file in order to read iGO (maps, alerts, skin,etc).

To make the long story short:
Try loquendo from your device, if you have problem (sound lost) then try to buy engine from market and place the voice .zip file for your country to the path:
iGO\content\voice\place here the voice .zip file from the download
