 Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2005 3:42 pm Post subject: Voice Skins for Tom Tom |
 |
|
Hi Guys!
Have any of you tried the celebrity voice skins for Tom Tom from www.voiceskins.com ?
I use Tom Tom on my iPaq 1910, and fancied having something a bit more interesting than the default voice.
Glad to hear from anyone.

What do you want for ten pounds?
I've bought two voices so far and I can tell you they are excellent!
I bet you rarely go out and actually spend money on fun  |

That's quite a sweeping and insulting statement to make I have to say. Maybe I'll make up some accusations about you too?
Personally I expect a lot more for £10 of my money, but if you think it's good value, then fine. |

It sounds like the same person doing all the male voices - just with different accents.
It's a clever idea, but too expensive. |

This is a great idea, the default voice is sorta boring, and I would like a less robotic sounding replacement.
However 9.99 is far too expensive. Half it, and I would give it a go for a laugh.
Does anyone know the structure of the voice files, so I could make my own? |

Found them, seems as though it would be easy.
Does anyone know of any FREE replacement voice sets? |

If they have Vin Diesel then I am likely to have an accident whilst driving

Excuse me? This is not the sort of forum where you come in and insult people. Please leave us alone, or be a bit nicer in the future. |

| not meant to be insulting but you'd have to be pretty crazy to bother buying these voices. i've grown used to the default tomtom voice (lisa i think). i've wasted money on my own quirks though i guess so knock yourselves out. i wouldn't recommend the ozzy voice though. you'd probably be bombarded by expletives after making a wrong turn and would be lucky if you got where you were going. 'sharon, turn the f*ing car around' |

If you just need some different voice files then click the link on the bottom of this post and hit the SOUND PAGE tab, you can even listen to a few of the voice files. |

Thanks, nice site (especially as it's a MD95000 I have), but it was the actual turn by turn voices I was looking for.
Similar to the ones on the voiceskins site.
Has anyone found any English alternatives? |
