Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 19:45:50 +1100 (EST) Hi Onj and all. I have tried the latest voice files from the site given below, and the rockbox does not seem to be voicing menus at all on my Iriver H340. I am using the rockbox build from 04-03-07 I usually also create a voice file automatically when I download the latest build, on the basis of the english.lang file found in the source archive for that daily build. I also tried making a voice file from that process and rockbox will not read menus there either. Is there something different about recent english.lang files such that voice files cannot be made properly directly from english.lang? I have of course made sure menu reading is set to on in the settings and the english.voice is in the langs dir. Any ideas.

I'm not sure if anyone has been benefiting from the voices i have been putting up, but since the menu structure has drastically changed, new voices had to be made available. I haven't looked on the main rockbox site to see if new voices are available, but even if they are, I have been making voices for a little while, and for those who don't know, they are available and listed by date, at http://tbrn.net/rockbox for your convenience. This is an automated process and if English.lang changes significantly, a new voice file with current date will be uploaded, so if you like the voices there, check back regularly. The voices are in the 7z format. 7Zip is just another compression format but it works well in this particular situation. I am willing to accommodate those people who cannot for some reason or other open 7z archives, but it's a simple download from www.7zip.org so it shouldn't cause the majority of users any issues. However if it does, I will consider switching to zip which even windows XP can open, be it badly. I have just found the downloads to be smaller using 7z so that is why I use it. If these voices crash while recording or there is any other problem, please tell me so I can make speed adjustements. Since November 19 or is it 22 of last year, voices above a certain speed (about 270 wpm sapi4 and over 80 percent sapi5) have caused most targits to crash and this bug has as yet, not been addressed. This of course makes the voice file in the ram of the targit larger, and most voices (if any) will now not work on Archos players for that reason. Until this bug has been addressed, there's honestly not a lot I personally can do about it, so I appologise in advance for what I consider to be mainly slow voice files, and especially quite large. Most of them are over 1.44 mb in size. Thank you for reading. Andre P. Louis Uncopyright, free music, compositions, Web-hosting and the new look to the beyond Radio Network?
