My mistake - of course it doesn't!
You have a XL don't you?
Download 9.026 manually from the link in my previous post and use WinRAR to extract it to the TT - just extract the LoquendoTTS folder as that is the only difference between the TTS and non TTS version |

Perfect thanks Andy. Just done a quick test and it works fine although some of the pronunciations can be a little weird to say the least ;)
Assume to revert back to factory default you just delated the folders mentioned before?
p.s. Yes I have a XL IQ
Cheers |

Just rename the ttntools folder to oldttntools or similar and you will be at factory default again.
This release is only for 9.026 as the files may change between different releases. If you change version then you wil have to run as default. |

Hi Andy,
I really want to make my Tomtom TTS enabled, but I saw you use a modified libLoqTTS7.so file. Is this legal mod?
Thanks! |

Andy,
I've been following this thread with interest. I have an old One v3 (without IQ routing). Do you know if the mods you suggest work with this model?
Robin _________________ TomTom One v3 Europe, Navcore 7.903, Western Europe 835.2420
TomTom Go 720 Europe, Navcore 8.351, Western Europe 855.2884
Satmap Active 10
Plus a lot of other PDA GPS kit, seldom used |

Don't know - if it will run 9.026 for the ONE from here (BUT delete the system file from the TT before rebooting so you don't upgrade the bootloader) then you stick a chance
If this runs OK on your device then download and install Kate and then download my ttntools package. 32Mb devices may struggle though with TTS ...... |

I can't see any reason why it isn't - according to the GPL and LGPL TT can't restrict you from making any modifications and redistributing. TT also seem to have 'forgotten' to release the source code for any Kernel since Nav8, which is their requirement of the GPL. Perhaps if it is requested they will provide it, but all the older source is available on their website.
Anyway, I haven't modified the libLoqTTS7.so file, AFAIK it is a just a different version - I found it through Google ages ago to solve the problem of silence when selecting TTS voices. This is the file I had to use a year or so ago on the 920 to get TTS working with 930 Navcore IIRC. TT had messed up the TTS on the 920's and all we got was stammering unless we installed TTS7 voices on devices that originally shipped with TTS6.
All I have done is put a small script together with publically available files after a bit of research on how the ttsystem file detects the features available on the device, and how it boots.
Perhaps if TT were less shortsighted and were to offer features such as TTS as an upgrade I wouldn't have to do tweaks like this, and I would quite willingly pay for the functionality for a reasonable fee (as I do for maps and LIVE Services) |

Andy,
Just little bit concern about the modified/patched libLoqTTS7.so file as in the ttn script you give credit the modified file to DarkMireille and in other forum DarkMireille said
Quote: |
So why are they so many people complaining that Loquendo isn't working on their device ?
Very simple: there is a "protection" on the Loquendo6/7 runtime preventing it to run on devices that don't originally support TTS.
= If you use an unpatched Loquendo on a device that doesn't support TTS "out of the box" you only get silence.
|
Is this the same file you are mentioning?
Thanks |

As the legality of this mod is being questioned I have decided to pull all of the links in case there is any chance of any 'protection' being circumvented.
Apologies to all - if you have already downloaded then make your own mind up on the legality. |

All
At no point was it my intention to distribute or create anything that could be classed as illegal.
As victle has quite correctly pointed out, the amendment of the libLoqTTS7.so file which was not done by myself does in fact seem to circumvent some protection.
As victle quite rightly posted in the quote from another forum that is quite happily distributing items that are potentially illegal, this file could potentially therefore be classed as illegal, even though it may not be.
Also, for my own personal protection I have removed all links from this thread and removed the files from rapidshare.
I can only assume that as victle has only posted twice, both times asking me if I am distributing illegal software that victle is potentially either a TomTom employee or involved in law enforcement or anti-piracy/copyright protection.
It was never my intention to do anything potentially illegal or post anything on this forum that could be interpreted as such. Apologies to the mods/admins.
My recommendation is that anyone who has downloaded these files deletes them from their device and computer. |

As I'm a member of another forum where all they do is look at ways to upload software that is not intended for their device - I watch with fascination - and there never seems to be any indication of legal action. I am pretty certain that this forum with its great respect for software integrity would not be the first target.
I would like to endorse the idea of a 'menu of applications' that could be purchased so that you could build a tailor-made personal system. |

Hi again!
I would like to add to my speed camera POIs nice voice message.
Something like
"Warning. Speed camera ahead. Do not go faster than 20.
Of course I do not want to write it for every single POI. Is there any way to do it on the computer (copy-paste) or maybe to make TT remember first part of the sentence so I add only speed limit at the end.
I can manage my TT using TT Home but because of the obvious reason I don't have option to write my own warning there. After choosing distance to POI goes straight to sound effect choice screen. |
