OK, so for all of my fellow tom tom users who spend good money on a map that offers the text to speech feature who feel jilted such as myself cause the feature is NOT working with Tom Tom 7 on your touch (or whatever else you may have installed it on)....i found out some interesting info from Tom Tom support.
Apparently the feature is supported in the PDA version, we just dont have the correct voice to take advantage of the feature. I'm currently waiting for the next email from Tom Tom support as to where i can get the voice....i didn't see it on the site nor did I find anything with a google search.
The correct voice(s) to use are denoted as "computer voice". They may come in different flavors, (Male, Female, UK Female, etc) but I can't confirm that yet.
If anyone has a Tom Tom unit (Go, XL, etc) please let me know because I believe the voice is on the Tom Tom DVD and (if it doesn't violate the rules of the forum) it can be shared
Updates to follow as I find out more.
