Multiple Voices

[simonpearce]

Is it possible to have more than one voice installed on the TT3 Navigator and be able to switch between them?

My wife is French and it would be useful to flick back and forth between the English and French voices.

Simon,

there are a few ways you can accomplish this. The currently used voice version is specified in the registry, and the voice files sit in their own directory.

So you can either edit the registry to point to a different directory, or you can rename the one you want TomTom to use.

A while back I was asking the folks here if they are interested in a little voice switching program for TomTom but the feedback wasn't big enough. Looks like you are someone special :D

This is something I posted a while back which might help:

"I've now achieved a solution which enables me to quickly switch between languages. This could also be useful if you like to switch between male and female voices in the same language.

Although this is not quite how I did it, I think this is the best non-technical procedure:

1) Copy the existing installed folder and contents "program files/navigator" to another location (say your CF Card).
2) Rename the folder to something like "navigator_english".
3) Move it back to the program files folder.
4) Install your second language/voice files from the installation disk in the normal way so that when you fire up the application it will be using the second language.

To switch between languages/voices use the explorer application to:
1) Locate the program files folder
2) Rename "navigator" to something like "navigator_french"
3) Rename "navigator_english" to "navigator"
4) Fire up TTN.

What this does is to have two versions of TTN installed - one in each language. So to switch between them you simply need to ensure that the folder contaning the language/voice you want to use is named "navigator" and the one you're not using is named something else. "


It's since occured to me that as this essentially creates two copies of TTN on my PDA all I need to do is to create two shortcuts, one for each version of the application.

Hope this helps.
