H10 Install voice .talk not working

[crohamblues]

Hi

I am new to this, I have a H10 with a broken screen, I have installed Rockbox and it works great, I was hoping to enable the .talk functionality in order to navigate, however whilst the voices are working, the .talk directories are speaking. I have used voicebox to create the .talk files, I have tested the files and they are correct, I have enable it in the menu, but still cannot the directories to be voiced.  Please help

thanks

hi,

have you checked if you really have "_dirname.talk" files in every directory which should be spelled ?

I have enable it in the menu, but still cannot the directories to be voiced.

Does that mean it speaks the filenames but not directories? There are 2 options - one for voicing file names and one for voicing directories - and I'm not sure what you mean by "it"...

Hi there

thanks for the replies. The .talk files exist, I have checked some of them and they do say the appropriate stuff. I have the voice enabled which speaks when you scroll through menus i.e. "database", "settings" etc, this works fine, but the voicing of the directories and files i.e. Bob Dylan etc does not work even though this is enabled.
Sorry if this is not clear, basically the onboard voice function works, but the one where you create the voice files using voicebox does not even though I believe that the correct files have been created, and are in the appropriate places, and all settings seem to be correct.

So if you are sure, that you enabled the use of .talk files for directories and files, it could also be that your .talk files are in the wrong format.

The .talk files should now be encoded with rbspeex and not lame (only for archos they stay mp3), ie they are now not normal mp3 files, so playing a talk file in winamp should fail).

so make sure that the voicebox util really generated .talk clips with rbspeex, or try rbutil, it can now also do this job. :-)

Hi thanks

I have tried both voicebox and the rbutil. Neither work, I must be doing something wrong, they are enable for sure.
