Well, I bought the TomTom Go 720 and bought it, and one of the reasons was for the Speech input...but can I get it to work? Can I hell...all greyed out I've tried everything?! Can anyone elighten me?

Navigate to ...
Address ...
Spoken Address OR
Spoken Address (dialogue)

If the above are greyed out, you seem to have a bummer.

I've tried to make mine go grey by changing the speaker and changing the voice, but none of them affect it.

Try reseting the unit by poking the reset button underneath, if that doesn't recover the situation try the "Reset factory defaults" option in the change preferences menu - Mike

Tried this, still greyed out, annoying now. Sad

Send it back if it doesn't work correctly, I cannot think of anything else that disables this option, if the resets don't fix it - Mike

OK Mike, will try TomTom first....hate trying to send stuff back to etailers like pixmania its just a right royal pain.

Thanks for the ideas though.

cheers

Hmmm, it sounds like they have shipped a USA style (no voice inputs by default) unit but somehow managed to install a Europe map. As a side note there may be some 'tinkerers' within the community who would appreciate a dump of the install....it may help to switch back 'on' missing voice input on USA models by comparing the files....

Sure thing tell me what to do! How do I tell if it's a pucker EU model?

Andy_P2002 is that a way to get your posting count up?

Well done if so, it worked!

Fair enough. I don't post that much so a n00b. In this case his humour wasn't helpful to me but I take the point, it's more his forum than mine.
All he actually did was insinuate I was an idiot.

If I'm supposed to apologise for feeling that way then sorry.

Apparently I need a cspeech directory and I don't have one on my unit. Does anyone know how big this directory is and is it zippable and uploadable?

Regards,

Hi Ballistix

I just checked on my 720 and the cspeech files are 19 individual dat files in the western europe folder totaled up they are 177Mb if you dont have these I can zip these into a single file and upload to rapidshare for you to download.
