The
default voice selections on the TomTom ONE LE are very limited and
quite dry. I have found a few
places on the web in which somebody took the time to generate more interesting custom voices that
you can use on your TomTom.
The following instructions describe how to add these voices to your TomTom:
1. Find a voice of your choosing and download to your PC. A few websites that have voices are:
*.vif = voice pointer and name file
*.chk = voice data file
*.bmp = image that will show in your voice menu selection
For those of you REALLY adventurous, you can generate your OWN voice files using your real voice.
See the following link:
2. Plug in your TomTom
3. Turn on your TomTom
4. Using Windows Explorer, find your TomTom device (it will have the little red TomTom icon next to it:
)
5. Click the little "+" sign next to the TomTom icon to expand the folders:
6. Copy all files downloaded in Step #1 (*.vif, *.chk, *.bmp) into the
folder on your TomTom.
7. On your windows lower right icon task menu, click on the safely remove hardware icon:
8. When Windows states it is safe to remove your hardware, disconnect your TomTom from your PC.
9. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual to select a different voice. Your new voice will now be one of the
selections.
- A copy of the owner's manual can be found here: >>> TomTom Owner's Manual <<<
- NOTE: When the TomTom asks you if you want to select voices only in your own language, select NO
If you select YES, you won't see your voice as one of the selections.
