Is it possible to have a button to disable the voice WHILE keeping the radar and overspeed alert ?
Or another option I investigate, but with no success is a SILENT Voice ...

If you disable the guidance voice then this also disables the radar and overspeed alerts so this wouldn't work.
A silent voice is fairly easy, just delete all the "ogg" files in a voice file you want to use as silent leaving just the overspeed warning "ogg" file.

|
|
| Thank you for all your efforts on the most recent Ultra Skin, Linknet. Regarding the Silent Voice for igo 8, having deleted all the unwanted .ogg files (apart from the over speed warning ogg file), when you try and select the modified voice file, it is not there to select in the list of voices. Have you any idea what the problem is? |

Which language silent voice file do you require ?

Yes, that's a serious question, otherwise how would I know which country you were posting from.

| Thank you for the download but sorry, use it as a template for which female voice? Would it be at all possible for me to download a zip file for the English silent voice, drop it into the igo voice folder, and select it by its name (e.g. "English Silent Voice") in the regional settings in igo? |

That's what I have already sent you, a male silent voice, just drop it in the voice folder and select it.
If you also want a female silent voice then use the male voice above as an example when creating it, unless you want all the overspeed warnings with only a male voice.

| Many thanks for the dowmload Linknet. The James silent voice works perfectly, but the voice for the speed cameras that I want is English (UK) Kate! I have carefully used your file as a template but try as I might I cannot create a Kate silent voice! Is there any chance of uploading a file for me, it would be greatly appreciated!! |

I'm sorry but I don't have a file already on hand to upload, I would actually have to create it.
There are over 60 different voice files and I don't want to become involved in creating or supplying these, I expect people to create their own if required.
Regards

| I have tried to create my own but without clear instructions it's not not that easy. I tried simply deleting all the .ogg files apart from the two you mentioned, as per your previous post, and that certainly dosn't work. |

It certainly does work, it gives you a replacement silent voice file.

If deleting the .ogg files does not produce silence, (how can your device possibly use vioce files that don't exist?) then you MUST have another copy lurking somewhere. Have you got the Language folder and the language files both on your device internal memory AND on an SD card? This MIGHT cause the problem, but I havn't tried it.
@ Dawks
The Kate voice is for directions. The Speedcam voice is in a completely different place and is skin dependent. In the Dimka skins ( which uses the original Ultra sounds), the SC voices is in the skin audio folder NOT the IGO8/lang folder. |

Deleting all the ogg files gives you a replacement silent voice file under the original voice name which will work perfectly.
Now if you require the silent voice as an additional selectable voice then you will need to rename it:
1. Rename your chosen voice zip file so that it won't overwrite the existing file.
2. Delete all the ogg files in the audio folder except have_a_nice_trip_drive_carefully.ogg and over_speed_limit.ogg.
3. Now edit the info.ini file to rename the voice. Change the voicekey and languagename fields to whatever you prefer (just adding "Silent" to the end of the name works fine).
This will give you a selectable silent voice file without spoken directions but still with the speedcam/radar warning beeps and the spoken overspeed warning.
Regards

By only renaming the voice zip, probably without renaming the voice itself, they have effectively made another copy.
