Thread: Formated Tomtom

That's why I was proposing you to start over from scratch and not to reuse any old backup, except for maps restore.
The "data" directory you mention is something I've never seen. I don't have it and everything works nicely on my Go920.

There are two types of official TomTom navigation voices:

- Standard voices that come pre-installed on every TomTom device. They are recorded voices and give you spoken instructions for your route.
Standard voices are stored into the "voice" directory.

- Computer voices that use text-to-speech technology to read street names, incoming text messages, weather information, etc.
Computer voices are stored into the LoquendoTTS directory.

Each of the Loquendo archives I linked above has the correct folder tree which is needed to install into the LoquendoTTS directory. As already said, just deploy them into LoquendoTTS.
This is how the LoquendoTTS directory shall look like for a correct installation:

Standard voices (to be copied into "voice" directory) can be downloaded from here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Thanks for your detailed reply, however I made a new TTS folder and setup like you suggested but doesn't work. I probably have not got the sub directories correct or the right files loaded. Under the main LoquendoTTs folder I made one called "bin" and four different folders named after each computer voice...kate-Simon-etc etc. Included all the contents of each voice as supplied by you download links.
So it looks like this:
LoquendoTTS
bin
Simon
Kate
Dave
Susan
This is obviously incorrect as no voices are available when starting the TT. Only normal voices as per the Voices folder in the main TT directory.
Would you mind just detailing it out again as a bit hard for me to follow

Kaygill, until you keep on adding or deleting directories, I think you'll hardly sort this out.

By the way, a Loquendo voice archive like the ones I linked above has got a directory structure like the following:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

which is perfectly similar to the Loquendo directory tree, other than for the "bin" folder.

Therefore, my suggestion is, again:
1. delete everything inside the LoquendoTTS directory, except the "bin" directory, which includes only the file "LTTS7AudioBoard.so".
2. start deploying into the LoquendoTTS directory the voice archives above (the Loquendo voices you want to install): the correct folder structure will be created automatically as the files get extracted.

Once you've installed all the voices you mentioned, you should have something like this:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

@Schwan1, as for the LoquendoTTS engine version goes:
- I am still using version 6.5, because this is NOT compressed, and unloads the processor from further work. I have got a Go920. As I have no RAM and no space issues either, I don't see the point in going for the version 7.
- feel free to use version 7, if you like. You might save some space on the device memory. The directory structure will, again, derive automatically from the voice-archive folder tree.
