.ogg file sets for Europe & NA camera databases?

[PeirreOBollox]

I`ve been using the Uk liz whitaker .ogg sound files with my PGPS camera data on my TT950. however I was wondering if there was similar .ogg file sets for use with the European & north american camera databases?

There's one for Europe - "Kate"

If you only need to know what type of camera it is, you can always use one of the "consolidated" sets (renaming the sound files to match the different filenames of the EU and US databases)

If you really want the speed limits spoken, it may be possible to reuse some of the other files if you can workout what speeds you need, but in America they have all sorts of weird speed limits don't they?



The simple alternative if you have a Go950 is to use the Text to Speech engine to say whatever you want it to say. That's how I made the "Simon" sets for the UK - I wish I'd done all the other numbers at the same time.

That screenshot appears to be in a parking lot somewhere.......and probably answerable to some local by-law.

Can't imagine that speed limit ever being on a public road.

University campus I think.... I was really thinking of all the 35,45,65 etc. MPH limits you seem to have but my mischievous nature got the better of me.

Reminds me of the signs I saw in New Zealand where it should show on the highway signs, (exit whatever) 4.3 km.

We use km here as well but the signs certainly measure in whole numbers.

The voice artistes Liz, Andy and Vicky did what they did as a favour for someone they worked with.
When they did their recordings, 20 mph cameras didn't exist, pMobiles didn't exist etc. The database was in it's infancy.
We've re-edited and borrowed words from other places where possible, but unless you're very lucky you can't make them say things they never said at all. Try making the word "twenty" out of the words thirty to seventy for example.
The other sets using computer-generated or text to speech voices, give you the opportunity to have them say what you want, but getting a natural inflection good enough to satisfy everyone can take quite a lot of time-consuming experimentation.

You seem to think this was all done as a centrally organised affair by PGPSW. It wasn't.
It was done by a whole collection of different database users in their own way and for their own use. They simply decided to make their efforts available to others for the communal good.

As I said above, there no reason you can't make your own voice files if you want something different. If you can't find someone prepared to say what you want into a webcam or microphone, you've got a 940... Use one of the built-in voices, sit down and type in all the warnings you want, send them via the line out or Bluetooth to your PC and record them (oh, if you choose the line-out you might need to buy the accessory mount with the output socket if you haven't got one already). Then find some nice siren sound effects on-line and edit them all together using one of the free audio programs available. Then you can name all 30 files correctly and send them to PGPSW to add to the collections.

Simples.

That's what I did with the "Simon" set, but I wasn't expecting to drive in America in the foreseeable future so I didn't see a need to make a US version at the time.
