Computer Voices

[kaygill]

I have been struggling with changing my computer voice on my XL and One. At present I have Kate (i think it is) who has a stupid finishing remark that is driving me nuts. Have tried "Simon" and "Susan" with no success...they don't work. There is one called "Samantha" that apparently works but can't find a current link to download. I do believe you also have to only have the one voice in the Loquendo TTS file. Is that correct? more than one and you can't change.
Other voices , not computer ones, work perfectly but don't say the street names.
Can someone point me in the right direction here so I can refresh my memory on how to do this.?

Oh well no answers to my question.!!!! If you see this "Downunder", how can you edit the voice of Kate to remove the wording she gives when you have reached your destination?
Her's.."you have reached your destination in one piece Horahh"... something more to my taste would be better like just "you have reached your destination"
The rest of her voice is great and she makes the best attempt at maori names I have ever heard, it's just that ending bit that gets us both.
Thanks

Bro is pretty easily to pronounce

Just joking, I'm sure someone can give you a link to download some more. Not sure whether editing is an option though.

All changes are in one file only, simply use Notepad++ and search the files inside LoquendoTTS for my name.
Right after that is the emotion inserted that causes the hurray, simply delete that bit and you are good to go.

Thanks Downunder. The file I found was in the data directory and called:default EnglishGb (a LEX File)
This had two lines with the Destination details showing.
I altered them to...."destination" = "you have reached your destination"
Now it says: "you have reached your destination,reached your destination"
Notice it repeats itself but at least the "hurray and In one piece" has now gone.
I will experiment a bit more and maybe one of those lines needs to be deleted all together.
What do you think.?
Thanks for your help

Keep in mind that TT overrides some things, it is best to activate the debug mode and to check the log files.
This way you see directly what comes from the speech engine and whaz words are used.
You can also simply replace it all with the standard from the original CAB file, ca be found on the TT servers or downloaded with Home if the device supports computer voices with it's native Navcore.
