Hi guys.

First post here, so please be kind with the comments :)

I've been using both 8.3 and Primo on my WinCE 6 128mb Chinese 5" device.
The only real problems I've came across is with TTS voices.

I've tried 9.6.13.267029 which is very stable , but have been unable to get TTS pro working on it reliably , so I tried 9.6.13.263722 using the v7 Loquendo voices that the OP advised only worked with that version...

It worked fine , but the English voice files were flawed , i.e when motorway M8XX was selected it sounded like 'Matey' , B8XX would be 'Batehundred' and of course the 'A' class roads would sound like 'Aye' class.

Its took me a while but I've finally fixed the probs with my own unit.

Solution is simple - open up the voice file in winrar , open up 'config, then 'config_transforms.lua' with notepad.

Look for the line that has something like this in it...

if head == L"A" then head = L"Ay" end

and change/add this...

if head == L"A" then head = L"A " end
if head == L"B" then head = L"bee " end
if head == L"M" then head = L"em " end

..then save the file ( winrar will update the voice file ) ,and give it a try.

It worked for me , I now have the correct format of Class and number being read out to me , if you're interested then you can work your way through the accompanying 'dictionary.voice' file too,and amend your various road sign definitions such as 'Roundabout' which doesnt sound good as it has identifiers stuck on the end (L and R) which need removed for it to sound right.

No disrespect to the uploader of the original , this merely continues their hard work and effort to get Loq v7 working on Primo 2.4.

Always remember and save the original as a copy before you change anything..it took me a while to get to the stage where I dont get memory errors thrown at me after 5 mins..YMMV.

Good job! Perhaps you wouldn't mind uploading your successful program without the contents? Others may like it also.

Which voices were you using?

There are "modified" versions around that weren't so good in the UK.

The original voices read out everything correctly.

I've probably been using the 'modified' versions then , as they've never really sounded right.

As far as I was aware there was only the single 'modified' version which worked on this version of Primo , if I had known there were 'originals' which worked fine then I would have used them.
I took it for granted that those voices were 'unique'...damn...at least its learned me how to edit and config Primo.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

I find Loq is a bit of a bastard, so I've always stuck with Serena for TTS.

Usually spot on.

We all know where these loquendo tts pro voices came from, they were never official voices.
Nuance voices are better.

btw, he stole the voice engines from me here at navitotal. also, i prefer loquendo voices over nua voices. i can modify the loquendo voices to say what i want and with the proper pronunciation but that's me and not for everyone.

Same here Chas, although I feel those nua voices are smoother , being able to adapt to the localised pronunciation is the game changer for me.
I wasn't aware the voices were 'stolen' from any other site as I cant honestly remember where I DL'd them from.

Apologies.

it wasn't you thelocalned. his name starts with a "z".
