Voice on the Sansa Clip Doesn't work.

[Jason Arthur Taylor]

Heelo all.  The Sansa clip manual needs to be changed to indicate that voice support does not work.  english.voice is apparently too big, according to Paul Lauden.  (See http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/10881?string=english.voice&project=1&type%5B0%5D=2&sev%5B0%5D=&pri%5B0%5D=&due%5B0%5D=&reported%5B0%5D=&cat%5B0%5D=&status%5B0%5D=open&percent%5B0%5D=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto=) for the details.

So.   I’d like to try out this voice feature.  My options are to install a small english.voice file or to buy a different device.  But what to buy?  What is as small as the Sansa clip but works better under Rockbox.  How much ram do I need for voice?  The english.voice file is about 1mb while I am guessing the Sansa ram is 380kb or so.  I have no idea if this is true however.  Do any of you know?  If only the sansa clip was supported with full color display I'd be in heaven.  What are my chances of getting a super tiny english.voice file working?  How would I do it?

Voice support works fine. The voice file that is currently available doesn't work.

This is not an issue that requires a change of the manual. You do not document bugs in a draft manual - it's a draft indicating expected behaviour. Bugs are documented in the form of bug reports on the patch tracker.

Jason,


Do you do *ANY* research at all before you jump on the forums and claim this, that, or the other thing is "broken" or "unsupported"?

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but it does seem that you have a habit of coming to your own (misguided) conclusion and then stating it as a fact.
