Is TTS-Software available for everyone?

Very nice work deiska! I can't wait until the new version releases.

Will the Sounds be available for all languages or do everyone has to download english routs?

You can use TTS bundled with windows XP (Although vista is better) or your MacOS..
Or just use one of the online demos:

You'll need to use some freeware program to convert your samples to mp3 though..

I'll bundle the release with just English samples - but I'm sure people would convert them to other languages if the need to...

Thanks for the link, it works great!

My question was about the possibility to download POI-Descriptions in different languages. Will they work or are the samples connected to words like "right", "left" or something?

Will it be possible to change the Soundfiles easily like the soundfiles you can change yet? Or will they be placed in the source-files?

I can't wait until you release the new version with audio-output :thumbup:

Hmm i don't like the voice warnings, they come too late.

They come already on where you have to turn.

Maybe this is an option:

If I remember correctly, google directions used by gmdl tool - always come in english, although them may contain local names in local language:
"Continue on Кремлевская наб"
The tool looks for phrases like "continue" and matchesh them to corresponding mp3 file...
So you can reconfigure it to "say" "continue" in your own language...
You have to "upload" your voice prompts to PSP togather with the route.

Nice work deniska, will this release be nice and stable on 3.40 oe-a??? if so gr8!

[Nylon32]

Very impressive, I can't wait for the release , am I right in thinking the psp needs to be clocked at 333Mhz so that the mp3 playback doesn't suffer?

[BarfHappy]

Really looking forward to using it :P

The increased stability is good news to hear, i mostly use Sat+hybrid maps and that can create issues since they are usually bigger than 400MB.

Do the voice prompts only work with the official PSP GPS receiver? Or do they also work with Holux receivers?

[Bolemichel]

I believe it doesn't depend which kind of receiver you use.

But I wonder why I should need some TTS software. I would like to create my own language files with an Iriver H320 MP3 Player. This player has a microfone in to record you speech in mp3... so I rename the files to the original ones and change them...

I think this should work!? They must be longer than 1 sec although.

Of course this will work.

My question was about computer-generated voices, so I don't have to listen to myself

If I download a map from maps.google.de, the description says "Links abbiegen auf Kaiserstraße" or something like this. So I have to download the english version I think. No problem for me
