One XL TTS trouble

[sgenerous]

HELLO,

recently got the One XL TTS. I live in Montreal, Quebec and was trying to configure my unit in French as Susan can not pronounce the french street names. I was shock to see that teh entire French folder was not there. I am missing the French Loquendo files. After few research on the web I was able to locate some of the files but I'm still missing at least the *.atm and *.lex french files. I went to the TomTom web site to no avail.

Does anyone know how I can get these files.

(BTW after downloading few of these files, Susan got somehow corrupted. So I beleive I need an entire load of the Loquendo, lib and voices folder.

Thanks,

Serge

Serge, I know the text to speech voice are placed with the new HOME 2. Just go to add voices, maps etc and scroll to the 3rd page I believe. You should see the computer voices option there.

Many thanks

Thanks Pedro2NR,

for some reasons I could not previously access that page. I re-installed the TomTom Home and bingo here it was. I was a bit surprised to see that I had to delete the English computer voice to make room for the French one. Anyhow, all is now good.

But you will probably have to delete the Susan voice in order to have room if you do not have an SD card installed in your XLS.

Salut Serge.

I just got that fix this morning.
My S was not telling street names. You can go there.

The thing is to choose a computerised voice. There is one in french too.

Loquendo offers two Canadian French computer voices since July 2007 (Charlotte and Olivier). I have contacted Tomtom about making them available and they said they would evaluate it. I guess if more people ask Tomtom for them, it might make a difference...

Really are they computerised?

Yes, computer voices or synthetic expressive voices as Loquendo puts it that can pronounce road names etc. I even found a sample of each voice on the Loquendo web site. Now, if Tomtom could offer them for download... I guess they need to feel some pressure from their tt French Canadian users...
