TomTom on the iPhone uses Vocalizer voices (in many languages). I modified these voices to make them work on a PND. This way, besides US English, Spanish and French speaking people, also Dutch, German and Italian speaking people are able to use TTS on their 32MB RAM devices. (The US English, Spanish and French Vocalizer voices are already available for a long time.)

Here are the links of the new modified voices:

:!: Please install only one computer voice at a time, otherwise some voices will possibly remain silent. :!:

  • English (British) Female - Serena > [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
  • English (Australian) Female - Karen > (Does not work possibly.) [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


  • Dutch Male - Xander > [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
  • German Male - Yannick > [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
  • Italian Female - Silvia > [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
  • French Female - Virginie >[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
  • Spanish (Castilian) - Monica > (Works well in NC 8.xxx and NC 9.024 but in the other NC 9 versions, it does not properly pronounce phrases with accents in it (like é, ó, ú etc.).) [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


  • Spanish (US) - Paulina > [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
  • English (US) - Samantha > [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Instructions:

1. Download the .rar file.
2. In the .rar file there is a folder, rename that folder to VocalizerTTS
3. Put that VocalizerTTS folder in the root of your TT, or in the root of your SD-card.
4a. If you have a TT with the official NavCore installed and your TT officially supports TTS, go to step 5.
4b. If you have a TT with the official NavCore installed and your TT does not officially support TTS, you need to install one of the SE NavCores. After that, go to step 4c.
4c. If you have an SE NavCore, make sure there is no 'ttsoff' line in the setconfig.txt file.
5. Select the TTS voice in the voice settings on your TT.

Please let me know when some voice is not working or if you have other questions.
