TTS Primo 2 Android

Hi

Does anyone have TTS working on Primo2 for Android. I have it installed on my S3 but cannot get TTS working. I have subsequently noticed that the requirements are for WinCE - do these not work on Android also?

Many thanks

I'll move this thread for you but it should really be in the Android section.

Yes. Works fine. But if you use bits from the WinCE version, or think that the installation would be the same, it will fail.
See here:

fantastic - many thanks

You're welcome. Glad to help, and happy you worked it out.
TTS was a guess for a while on Android. Fatboyfun gets the credit for testing various methods until we found out what actually works.

Would someone give me some pointers about what should I change in TTS language file to be compatible with Primo Android? I'm using Brazilian Portuguese and it is not included in your language pack in the link above... I'll be glad to share afterwords.
Thank you very much.

Are you talking about a TTS voice file? I will assume you are and not a Language (Program Language) file.
You must have a Nuance TTS Pro voice.zip file.
Open up your TTS {voicefile}.zip in Winrar (using another zip/rar utility may corrupt the file).
Double click info.ini within the zip file to open it in Notepad or another plain text editor.
Look for this line:
tts_engine="nuance_v5"
and delete it. Save the info.ini file in Notepad. Winrar will prompt you to update the archive. Do that.
Copy the edited {voice}.zip file to your Primo Android installation (..content\voice).
That's all you have to do for the voice file...you have to do the rest - have Pico/Svox/Ivona, etc- TTS installed and active on the Android device for TTS to work in Primo.

[color="#FF0000"]EDIT:[/color] PS...editing a Nuance voice file in this way will make it unusable in the WinCE version of Primo! This procedure is only for the Android version.....don't get your files mixed up!

Thank you very much!!!

It worked like a charm.

As promissed, I've attached the Por-Bra file

All my best.

they work once you put them in your iGO/CONTENT/VOICE folder.

oh and also, if you plan to use let's say an ITALIAN voice,
you need to make sure your Android device O/S is in ITALIAN.
you can use the default google text-to-speech engine.
and then choose ITALIAN voice in your google text-to-speech engine settings.

have fun!!
