You'll have to dig really hard on the net. Search for TTS, Nuance, TomTom, 155mrf22, Spanish, Vocalizer.
Or wait a little bit longer, so I can prepare package for you. I've been collecting voices listed in this topic for 3 weeks now ... Last edited by seaniko7; 04-24-2011 at 07:36 PM. |

Could you write how can I prepare package with different sounds (English+French, or English+German). Also I'd like to make package with Russian language. Could you help and write how to prepare it?

juancarlos here you go :
Drop "TTSMod" from "TTSMod_v4N_DiegoSP-MonicaSP" and a proper installer from "TTSMod_0.4N" into your root directory. Then just execute update like you did installing jailbreak. Just make sure you uninstalled any other TTS mods before installing this one. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16679763/TTS...P-MonicaSP.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16679763/TTSMod_0.4N.zip |

Installation is similar to the launchpad? Thanks (Puedes poner los pasos para instalación en español? Es similar a la instalación de launchpad? Hay que tener un cuidado especial con algún paso? Gracias de antemano) |

Luistfe: Si ya tienes instalado el launchpad, sólo tiene que hacer lo siguiente: Dentro del archivo TTSMod_0.4N.zip eliges el fichero que corresponda a tu Kindle; por ejemplo, el mio es el wifi y entonces el archivo es el "update_TTSMod_0.4N_k3w_install.bin". Ese fichero lo copias al directorio raíz del Kindle. Por otro lado dentro del fichero comprimido TTSMod_v4N_DiegoSP-MonicaSP.zip coges el directorio TTSMod y lo copias entero también al raíz del kindle. Después enciendes el kindle y le haces un update (igual que cuando instalaste el launchpad) ¡y ya está! |

PoP as soon as I finish v 0.5 ill write tutorial on making your own packages.
Whole process is fairly easy. There is nothing more than renaming these files, adding some if mod is suposed to be bilingual, editing *.hdr config files and finally preparing installer with launchpad script/update tool, which moves original files to safe directory and creates symbolic links to new voices on usb storage. Nothing really special... I'm glad it works for you, guys. Cheers. btw (soxymora=seaniko7 for those who didn't know) |

No hay que añadir en el launchpad.ini la combinación de teclas que inicia el TTS? (NO NECESARIO) Muchas gracias de todos modos. Last edited by luistfe; 04-29-2011 at 12:59 PM. |

I'm so excited someone has managed to do the impossible. You guys are the best!
I have a Kindle 2 and a Kindle 3G. I'm always traveling and commuting for work and use the TTS at least 4 hours a day if not more. I was excited about getting my K3G but Amazon changed the TTS voice/speeds. It's much more robotic now and extremely unpleasant to listen to. I swapped out my K3G three times with Amazon in hopes that perhaps it was some sort of chip corruption until finally one of the Amazon reps let it slip that the rumor around the office is the voice was tweaked to appease publishers that felt they were losing too much in audio book sales. So, I now lug around both kindles and only use my Kindle 2 when listening to TTS and then use the K3G for actual reading. I'd love to be able to just use my K3G though. I've been hoping someone would eventually make a TTS voice change possible... And you guys have! Now, here's my question -- Is there a strictly TOM US english version of the hack? I only understand english and am afraid I won't use the other languages. Or, maybe is there even a hack with the original male K2 voice? It's not as snazzy as the newer enhanced Tom but I'd be more than happy with it than what's currently on my K3G. I unfortunately have absolutely no clue how to create my own voice mod or where to get all the files. If I used the Daniel UK mod with Polish, would I have the option to just use Daniel to read english? Last questions, I promise. The first step is to jailbreak my K3G before installing the ipad pkg, right? I just want to clarify it isn't an either or option. As well, when I open the zip file with the TTS Mod (without the instalator.ini) - Do I just drop this on the kindle like jailbreak and ipad? Then I drag the instalator.ini into the launchpad directory. Now, the confusing part is pressing shit+f+i. Is this on the kindle keyboard while it's still plugged in? Are the buttons pressed on my computer laptop with the kindle plugged in? Or do I eject the Kindle and just press the combination and not worry about what screen I'm in? On the kindle the shift key is the up arrow key on the bottom left, correct? Sorry for the long ramble. LOL - I'm really not computer/kindle literate. I'd truly appreciate any help/suggestions shared. Last edited by broodingstorm; 05-01-2011 at 05:10 PM. Reason: More questions |
