Of course not and I'm not like that, my postings here are all only meant only to be helpful as are Giomen's. I'm sorry you saw it as a possible insinuation of lack of intelligence, the point is that P#3 clearly WAS too brief to be easily taken in and I was politely and gently suggesting both you and the kind member helping were quite wasting your time persevering with VoiceEditor. I had/have no desire to offend Giomen either who I now feel should be defended further. So about this:

.....because what he posted was a page that is in Russian language discussing voices in Russian, & when I translated it, offered nothing in response to my question regarding if MY model was capable of it. My posting title CLEARLY states the type and model GPS device that I use. In some ways maybe it just would have been easier for someone to simply say "Unfortunately your GPS model doesn't allow editing of TTS voice files"?

He actually did say as much because it's certinly in the extensive README which is displayed at the base of that page and gives several references to "Compatible navigators: nuvi 2x97 / 3x97, ..., nuviCam, the entire series Drive" in regard to TTS3 voices. The RU>EN google transation is clear enough in my opinion and quite comprehensive. My interpretation of Giomen's P#3 is this:
"Only one description for modern TTS editing I found:" Means: "I know of only one described method for editing modern TTS voices"

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (He's expecting you to translate it and read the README which opens with that page. It certainly only deals with TTS3 files for RU which have already been modified to correct inconsistencies.)

Giomen's first language isn't English and perhaps I'm just a bit more used to his turn of phase. I hope I'm not now suspected of "man-splaining" this.

Following on from that README info, the fact that someone has been able to do that with RU TTS3 files suggests to me that the same method could be used to edit others. I'm not a programmer, there are others here who are but as yet no one's offered to try. Maybe this will stir someone to do so .... looking at you osiris4isis! TurboCCC seems to have gone quiet again.
