 Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2004 4:12 am Post subject: No FemaleTTS |
 |
|
| I'm very happy with Copilot Live v.4.5, but for some reason I can't get the FemaleTTS to work. I've read all the FAQ's on ALK.com and I understand how to switch from MaleTTS to FemaleTTS, but after switching PocketSpeech from the male voice to the female voice I get no sound at all. I can switch back to the male voice and all is good. I don't get it. Anyone? |

short of recommending a complete reinstall of CoPilot I could only suggest you check the registry... I can't check it on my end because I always get horrible pain in my stomach from laughing about the TTS way of saying things. I switched back to WAV files...

| I don't get the option to install female TTS when loading the software using UK English. Is there any reason for this? |

| I get the option to install either male or female or WAV. I've installed and tried each of them but the female tts doesn't work for some reason. I just don't get it. |

Are you sure it's not a memory issue? ALK say you need 10 to 12 MB free program memory to get the TTS voices. Maybe the male TTS uses slightly less memory?

2. How can I change the voice from Female to Male or from Male to Female?
Since the text-to-speech applications are relatively large, only one gender is installed to the Pocket PC. If you want to switch to a different gender (or to the .wav files), you will have to uninstall Pocket Speech and reinstall:
To uninstall Pocket Speech:
1. On your Pocket PC, tap on "Start --> Settings" and select the "System" tab
2. Tap on "Remove Programs"
3. Select "Pocket Speech" and tap "Remove"
To install the desired speech option:
1. Connect your Pocket PC to your Desktop computer via ActiveSync®
2. On your Desktop computer, double-click on My Computer
3. Go to "C:\Program Files\CoPilot Live\PocketPC4_NA\CEQStart\English"
4. Right click on the preferred voice folder and copy the .cab file
5. Open the Microsoft® ActiveSync® window
6. Click on Explore and paste the .cab file
7. On your Pocket PC, tap "Start --> Programs --> File Explorer"
8. Explore the "My Documents" folder and tap on the TTS file (or "wavefile" if you selected the .wav files)
9. Delete the TTS (or wavefile) from your "My Documents" folder.
3. CoPilot Live| Pocket PC4 does not speak. What can be wrong?
The .dll files used in CoPilot Live are loaded last when the application is launched. CoPilot Live requires 10-12mb of FREE PROGRAM memory on your Pocket PC. If you do not have enough FREE memory the required .dll files will not load.
Tip: Please make sure you close all other running applications including Bluetooth and Wireless communication software managers.
Please try one of the following workarounds.
1. Uninstall CoPilot Live and CoPilot Speech from your Pocket PC's main memory. Reinstall the application to the device main memory using the WAV file option for speech.
2. Uninstall CoPilot Live and CoPilot Speech from your Pocket PC's main memory. Reinstall the application to a Storage Card using the TTS file option for speech.

| Thanks for your suggestions. I've tried to get the female voice for a while now and have tried every FAQ from ALK's wbsite. I just spoke with ALK technical support and they said that they have had problems with the female voice and that they will soon release a patch for this problem. For now I'll continue with the male tts. |
