No voices on Co Pilot 5 Pocket PC

Manga

I have Co Pilot 5 on my PPC, installed from Quickstart card, apart from the intro voice when i start it up, there are no voice directions at all. I have the volume turned up all the way on my PPC but don't know what is wrong. Help!

You'll probably find the answer here on ALK's site.

The website instructions above show you how to simply re-install PocketSpeech (TTS), which should work for you.

Don't forget in CP5 to go to Options, "Amplify Speech Volume", or something like that.

Thanks. I've done that but still no joy. It gets worse, I downloaded the Co Pilot 5 Update from ALK site, installed it and now when I try to run Co Pilot it says I have a prior version of data on my device and need to download the correct data. Any ideas? Thanks

Look for the language.cfg file and check its contents.

If you're using the TTS voice in the UK (your profile doesn't show where you are), then it should read ...

The version no is 5.1.0.7, it is actually a different version than normal, its the one with the Acer N35, doesn't come with desktop software. Reverted back to the backup disc and it is working again. But still no voices. Does anyone have this version? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I will try this when I get access to another PDA.
Cheers.

Couldn't get access to another pda. Re-installed TTS, volume is turned up, but still no sound (apart from startup). Don't know if I can use WAV sound files instead, as i've not got desktop software and don't know where the files would be.

Are you sure you have checked the option under Tools, Options, Guidance, "Amplify Speech Volume"? This is important for TextToSpeech.

And just for good luck, tap your PDA "UP" rocker button 6 times or so (I know this shouldn't be necessary since you have WAV sounds coming normally).

If you really intend to switch to the WAV speech, you should find an install file for this on your SD card under \Storage\2577. I think you should find there both TTSUK_m.cab and WaveUKEnglish_m.CAB. Clicking on either should install it. I think you should uninstall whatever PocketSpeech you have before doing this.

Good luck

Sorry Manga, I see you have checked the "Amplify.." option etc many times.

The ALK website for CP 4 (you have CP5) has a warning that under low memory conditions the speech dll may fail to load. Exit all other programs first if this is a possibility.

Good news, I have figured out the problem, I had too much stuff installed on my pda, didn't have enough free memory / storage. I uninstalled a program, then the audio prompts worked perfectly!
Thanks for all the replies!
Cheers
