Ash10's Voice Utility Software

[MaFt]

right, an update for different units:

between myself and ash we've had a bit of a play and can confirm that the voice files from an i3 will work on the nuvi 360 and the files from the nuvi will work with the i3 (obviously not the tts voices though!)

so, from this we are assuming that it will work between different units AND different versions of the same voice (version on my nuvi was newer than that of the i3 but still worked fine). however, remember that, as with ALL 3rd party software, use of it is at your own risk and has no warranty etc etc - having said that Ash10 has a proven record of decent software so there shouldn't be any problems, or if there is he'll fix it pretty quick :D

not sure if this is exactly how it is but you get the idea!


also, i'd recommend using just the uk or usa voice files as each voice file is in alphabetical order by language:

032 dix-ouite
033 dix-neuf
034 dix-sept
035 douze

eg if you changed the french file and used your new english voices (in the same order as the english file) then when it looked for 'right' the french file would tell the i3 to use sound clip 010 however, if you used the order from the english or american files then 010 is '9th' so instead of saying 'right' it would say '9th' - not very helpful...

you could, if you wanted, translate all the french into english and work out a new order for the french file and use it that way, but just remember that the relevant phrase is in a specific place in the file and this position differs between languages!

Voice Utility works fine. I've used it to Morph all wav on my .vpm file. It's OK !
Perhaps you make a mistake...

[phillhunt]

Hi I have tried the utility and it seems to delete some of the voice files when it recompiles them are there any updates avaliable to fix this problem

Thanks Phill

[Jamas]

[phillhunt]

I have tried to modify just the Recalculating wav.081 on both the American and English voice files and after it is joined back to a .vpm. when using either voice in Garmin Moblie XT it misses serveral other words that weren't even modified, I hope the developer reads these and can fix the problem as it would be a great program if it worked properly

Thanks in advance Phill

There is currently a limit of 16Mb per sample, prior to it being converted to the required format - this should be plenty enough.

Is this problem occuring across different languages - can I assume that Jamas is using French and other are using English?

Could somebody host (and PM me the link) the offending samples/header, and I'll take a look at what's going on... ;)

[phillhunt]

Hi again I have only modified the recalulating wav (081) the file I used is only 54kb no other files where modifed but it seems to have corrupted the recompiled .VPM because now when routing it doesn't say many of the voice files EG it wil say ( turn left in ........) the rest is missing

Thanks Phill
