Bucciarelli Nothing *has* to be placed on your archos or in your rockbox directory. Just unzip the voicebox files to a folder somewhere - it can be on your PC or on the archos, either way - it doesn't matter. Make sure you place a copy of the lame executable in the voicebox folder - the one with the voicebox.wsf script. Get it here if you don't already have it: http://www.mp3-tech.org/software/encoders/lamewin32.exe Run lamewin32.exe to install lame and then copy just the lame.exe file into the voicebox folder. To get folders and/or file names spoken, just drag the desired folder from your Archos onto the voicebox.wsf script using the file manager, or run ("open") the wsf script and type the desired folder name in at the prompt. This can be the *whole* drive, e.g., j:\ but it need not be. You may wish to try it on a subfolder first to make sure things are set up and working properly. To control whether folders, filenames, or both are voiced, you can edit the settings in the voiceOptions.vbs file - use a plain old text editor. Edit the following lines, near the bottom of the file, setting them either to True or False, to control what types of things get voiced. I think they are both set to true initially. Const VoiceFolders = True Const VoiceFiles = True There are additional instructions in the readme file in the .zip, but that ought to get you going. _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2005-03-08 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
