TO MODERATORS: None of the content I am posting in and of itself is "warez" or illegal in any way. These files are readily found using Google, require that you have the original program, and are simply additions. I do not condone piracy. If you like iGO8, please support the developer by buying it. If after this statement, you still feel this post needs to be taken down I understand.
STEP BY STEP on how to get Text to Speech (TTS) working with iGO8 (cause I couldn't get it going either, and it seems it is because some downloads do not include TTS content). But be warned, like any GPS program, TTS is only kind of "meh".
This will give you four (4) TTS voices: UK - Kate, Simon US - Dave, Susan
1. Download the TTS files from HERE:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z9MTKOV1 (163 MB)
(note: this takes forever to upload. I will add a rapidshare link tomorrow if needbe)
When you unzip the file, you'll see an iGO8 folder. each file's location corresponds to where you should copy them onto your storage card. In other words, there are 4 files that go to root iGO8 directory, a new directory (iGO8/tts_loq) and a couple new voice files to put under iGO8/content/voice. I also attached the SYS.TXT from earlier in the thread, with the appropriate additions all added. Simply download and replace your SYS.TXT.
2. Follow this step ONLY if you wish to add the code manually rather than use the SYS.TXT included above.
2a. Add the following lines to [debug] section:
Code:
tts_min_ready_wav=1
tts_getaway_time=100
2b. And then add this section underneath [smartzoom] section:
Code:
[tts]
tts_buffer=131072
tts_logics=3
always_say_road_names=1
announce_street_name=1
announce_exit_directions=1
skip_exit_numbers=0
priority="HIGH"
Save and overwrite your old SYS.TXT file.
3. Turn on TTS voices. Go to Settings --> Regional --> Click on Voice Profile to select a new one --> Select a profile that has TTS in it.
SPECIAL BONUS: Latest US Speedcam file with ~ 4000 entries. Simply go to /iGO8/content/speedcam and add the text file. Then go to Settings --> Warnings --> Speed Camera Warning and check on the box for the warnings. Voila
