Here's this exact same problem I posted a few months ago. I should probably make some kind of Wiki about this topic to help people out, but for now, my sent items folder does just as well. <--snip--> The fix for that is to edit the ~/rockbox/tools/sapi_voice.vbs file using some editor, and look for the text string '809' My line looks like this: LangIDs = Array( &h409, &h809, &hc09, &h1009, &h1409, &h1809, _ note that h409 is first. In the original of this file, 809 is first. If you know anything about sapi languages you'll know that American English voices are 409 and British English voices are 809. Simply swap those two numbers, keeping the letter h at the beginning of the string, and rebuild your voice as before. You will then get the voice you actually want. It took me about 24 hours to find out where to go to finally fix this, but let me tell you, I was happy when I did. Nobody could work out what I was talking about, as everyone else I know was able to build the voice they wanted. I found that strange, but this fix did help me. You will have to switch the 409 and 809 around again to build British English voices in future if that's what you want to do, but I hope that helps. I was trying to build VW Paul and always getting AT&T Anjali. I can tell you it was very, very annoying, as I'd never even chosen that voice in control panel. <--snip--> Grant, in your case, you actually want 809 and not 409, but otherwise everything else does apply. Hope that helps. Received on 2007-12-21 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
