Free Navman Celeb voice.

bertbe · Occasional Visitor Joined: Mar 03, 2008 Posts: 8

Hi,

We have been working on a Celeb (impersonation) voice for the Navman. We think we have cracked it and have created an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice.

This voice is available for FREE below.

The voice has been tested on a few models but we would love to hear all the models it works on, if you could leave us a note to say if this worked on your device that would be great!

The download address is: http://www.car-neons.co.uk/uk_f_5.zip

To install this voice the file "uk_f_5.dat" will have to be deleted or renamed in the folder "sounds" on the Navman. The new voice with the same name should then be transferred to the "sounds" folder. The voice should then be installed.

The “sounds” folder can be accessed by connecting your Navman to your computer via the usb. Clicking on My computer, the device will then show up as a device under “Devices with removable storage” click on the device and you will then find the “sounds” folder.

Please make a backup of all files before installing this voice. As with all 3rd party software we accept no responsibility for any problems with this voice or the Navman as a result of installation.

Cool! Could you speed it up a bit, though? And it declares itself as female voice...

Hi,

Thank you for trying the voice, we can and will speed the voice up. Thank you for the feedback! We can create the voice so it can replace "uk_f_5.dat" or "uk_m_5.dat" so we can create it as the male. Just needs to be either of these for the device to pick it up.

Can I ask which model/models you managed to get this voice to work on?

Thank you again.

It works...! Just shows it can be done...

Worked with no issues on my Navman s90i with sp1 installed

Thanks! Agree a speed-ed up version would be even better

Now how long I will keep it live for, thats another question!

Thank you for your replys. If any one else could say which models they have got this to work on that would be great!

Which version have you based this on?

Hi,

The voice was created based on a s30, in the hope it would work on all the S series, this appears to be the case. We are trying to get a feel now if this will work on the other series models such as N series. In our experience voices do normally work across the board, this is the case with Garmin and TomTom. However this may not be the case with the Navman..

Hi,

Its not our intention to upset, there probably is a few names we have used, mainly due to forgetting username or passwords not out of malice more laziness. For that I'm sorry, we shall not create anymore. Granted this is research but if users are happy receiving a free voice for a bit of feedback we think this is a fair exchange. I do not wish to argue if you feel we are sailing close to the wind please delete the thread and we will investigate else where.

That all sounds perfectly reasonable we shall contact yourself in future. Thank you.

Forgeting the tension here (...!) does this mean you'll be looking into creating a range of Navman voices then?

bertbe · Occasional Visitor Joined: Mar 03, 2008 Posts: 8

If it is doable then yes, we are just really enquiring at the moment. All feedback is welcomed if any more people have got the voice working. We will speed up the voice shortly and add in a few character isms.
