Text to Speech (on a ONE?)

OK, I have a challenge.

I would like to use Andy's TTS plugin and Tripmaster. They both use "ttn" file.

How to make them work together?

Don't use the ttn file method for enabling TTS.

Download the ttntools method here.

On your TT delete the TTSFix folder and ttn. Rename PNDNavigator.orig to PNDNavigator.

Test the device at this point - it should tell you the voice you have chosen is no longer available and you will have to use a standard voice.

Extract the download to the TT - you will have a folder called ttntools.

Test that you can now select Kate.

Now put tripmaster on there.

Should work fine.

Mr. Vaughan you have answer for everything.

How come you know all that stuff? You must be some kind of TomTom's ex employee ;)

You made me a very happy man.

TT ex employee - afraid not.

About to become TT employee - I doubt it given all the stick I have given them over the years when they get something wrong.

But, when they get something right I give them their due credit.

Lets just say after a few years of fiddling with these devices you work a few things out ....... (and with the help of a couple of others Smile

)

Hi Andy

My XL Live is showing 9.026 now. I followed your directions as your post of 27th March 10.21am. The only problem I had were that there wasnt a autorun.ifo file on my device that I wasnt supposed to delete.

Apart from the volume control problem it seems to be running fine and I am extremely grateful for your guidance.

Hi Andy.

Sorry to be thick, whats a bootloader?

Apart from the PocketGPsworld camera alerts and the pois that came with the unit, I have a few more but not many. The only ones that show on screen are Mcdonalds and KFC(!!)
Cant answer about Cspeech at present as am away on hols in Devon and dont have the cable with me to connect Tomtom to laptop - sorry.
Thanks for your help.

Tap the satelite signal strength metre, bottom right...

then on the next screen tap the little box saying Version

The screen which follows is a goldmine of information and your bootloader version is on the line above the map name, in a line which says GPS vx.xx, Boot x.xxxx

Apologies for the rotten screenshots - these are very ancient and date back to the days when I was just learning how to do them and just learning how to work Photoshop!

Thanks Dennis. It is Boot 5.5138

So nothing odd on the device.

Can't say mine has ever suffered from similar issues unless I have had some form of corruption on the device.

The steps I would do are as follows (but you will need a USB cable Sad

)
Run the TT ClearFash Tool - try it now
(Take a full Windows Explorer Backup)
Do a Power Button reset - try it now
Restore to factory settings - try it now
Format the device as FAT32
Restore Backup - try it now

It may be hardware related to your screen, so the above may make no difference whatsoever. It has been known for dirt etc to get trapped between the screen and the trim - try running a piece of thin card or similar round the edge between the trim and the screen.

Hi Andy
Is the preferred route for a 64mb version? I received mine today and want to enable TTS. Is it simply the case of extracting the CABs to your device and over writing all files that it needs to?

Thanks

The most reliable method is the ttntools method.

Update to 9.026 through HOME (or manually download here and install manually using WinRAR) - test all is OK
Install the Kate voice (download here and use WinRAR to extract to the LoquendoTTS folder on the TT)

Download this and extract to the root of the TT - it will create a folder called ttntools on the TT - now safely eject and test and select Kate as the voice

Thanks Andy but if I update via HOME to 9.026 my TT doesnt have the LoquendoTTS folder??? Sorry for being thick!
