I would be happy to modify your script to work in the US. Might be little more difficult due to the number of cable/sat providers, but shouldnt be that big of a deal. Let me know what you need me to do

do you work with xmltv?
I think this would make it easier to get a generic result that can be addapted easily to every country...
I'm using TVGuide which is working very well (with xmltv downloaded by PC application jXMLTV). But I miss the possibility to download the xmltv using ppc only.

can you make an english versio of http://inform.ovh.org? I think this will help alot to get other people involved...

I'm tested this program for many days. Works great

"sorry for my bad english" ¿why?

Hello friends!
I've been using Firefox Web Browser for a few months now and noticed that it has a built in spell checking plug in feature with support for many languages. I love it, every time I spell something wrongly, it underlines it in RED and I can right click over the underlined word and it'll give me the options in the language that I'm writing. So far I'm using Spanish and English and it works great for me. I see some friends constantly saying "sorry for my bad English", this might be helpful for you guys.
PS: I'm in no way endorsing, recommending, promoting, advertising or receiving anything for this post... I'm just sharing a little info that helps me break the language barrier that most of us have when not writing in our native language.
@ MODS If this post is considered incorrect, please feel free to remove. If on the other hand, you find it helpful to our community and have a way to pass it on, feel free as well. Thanks
Mark
@ MODS Please move to proper forum as advised by users. Thanks.

Men THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou so much I have a bad english so this will gonna helps us much better
so does i just need to see the "complementos" or where can I get it?

If you already have Firefox, just go to Tools>> Add-ons >> Browse All Add-ons >> Under Categories chose "Dictionaries and Language Packs" then chose English US or any other language you wish to use.

well this thread has nothing to do with blueangel and blueangel WM6, please mod move it to more proper place

Yup
Yeah this must be on general forum... i have this working on my firefox thanks mark

Changing the Text-to-Speech voice on Android

Mostly an issue for Google Navigation on Droid. It is not possible to change the voice for the application only, as it uses Androids text-to-speech voice. So to change it for the app, we must change it for everything! However, 'Install voice data' is always grayed out due to it already being installed.
Is there any way to change the voice? And if so, is there a compatible database available?

Hmm, is this not possible or just completely unimportant to people?

The TTS engine (according to http://eyes-free.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/documentation/tutorial/tutorial.html) is a port of the eSpeak engine
If you really want to, you can help espeak project to improve or develop new langages.
In the document section of the espeak project you will find informations and tools which should help you...
However, changing the voice for a a generic tts engine, is not so easy (it not like recording "turn left"/"turn right"/... in a application where what should be said is much more limited)

I was confused at first. What you linked to was the documentation for an app already on the Android market. This app uses a eSpeak port. The TTS on the native Android 2.0 OS is called Pico TTS.
The voice files seem easy to find. Navigating with astro, I found system->tts contains several .bins named as languages. Wouldn't changing a voice be as easy as finding the correct way to compile the .bin and then simply replacing the file?

Since somebody is actually asking here, I guess it is important, eh?
Ive been tryin to switch to canadian french too for a while, without success, sadly...

Does anyone know how to compile espeak and the data for android?
The current data is from 2009. Since then, the data has changed a lot and a lot of languages are better pronounced.

Canadian French is a dying sub-language, very few people speak it as an only language with the majority of younger people prefer learning English.

'Canadian French is a dying sub-language, very few people speak it as an only language with the majority of younger people prefer learning English.'
I'm sorry Nanan00, but I think you are sadly mistaken. In Canada, Canadian French is not a 'dying sub-language', it is spoken by millions of Canadians, including Anglophones (such as myself). And the 'only language', thing, by which I assume you mean the sole language spoken by an individual, was never in question. BTW, I am a 'young person' as well, and i prefer to speak BOTH og my country's offical languages.
P.S. I'm glad that Texans can make obdurate decisions and conclusions about a foriegn country's national languages. Its shows how worldly you are becoming down there. It also means that I can do that same and state that proper English in America is a dyning sub language, next to all the wonderful tripe passing for English down there. GBA!

Canadian French isn't dying, just like Flemish (the variant of Dutch spoken in Belgium) isn't dying. In Belgium, we now haven't got a government for 209 days because in earlier days, the French speaking Belgians didn't want to accept the Flemish as an official language. Flemish was spoken by a majority of people, but the rich people all spoke French. Politicians are now still fighting for the rights of the Dutch speaking. If Brussels (the bilingual capital city) didn't exist, Belgium would long be divided in Wallonia and Flanders. But since Brussels is the only child of the marriage, it is a tough divorce.
Now on topic. The Dutch eSpeak data is far better now than in 2009. So I really need an update. I don't know that much about other languages.

all i know is that i use svox, with the female voice from great britain (yes, it costs 2 bucks or something, but worth it, imho)
it comes through google navigation, because i have selected svox as my primary speech engine. pico just does not sound as good. i did not have to select 'use my settings globally', or whatever it says in there, for svox to be employed in google navigation.
google translate, however, requres the espeak engine. if you turn on the 'use my settings globally' option with svox, and try and use google translate text to speech (i've had to use this occasionally in a hospital setting for english to spanish), then it does not work at all.
hope that helps

I don't want to rely on proprietary software. And I find it weird, Jonathan works a lot to get the data for all languages OK, and than the data doesn't get ported.

I downloaded Loquendo, an app from the market. It's an alternate voice to text engine for Android and it sounds great. It was $5.99 when I bought it. It's waaay more natural sounding than the robotic stock Pico TTS. You can read more about it here and hear samples of the voice too (only the girl voice is available for android, not the guy voices)

makes using navigation so much nicer.

"Canadian French is a dying sub-language, very few people speak it as an only language with the majority of younger people prefer learning English."
This is a sad statement, your information is wrong, you don't relay know what 's going on in Canada east provinces, Québec is known as a French speaking province, We have strong french network, School, Collège, university, singning artist in French, Tv, Radio, Computeur, Smart phone with French Canadian speaking software, New Brunswick, Ontario are bilingual province, We find french network in all provinces in Canada, those software like Nuance Dragon, Svox TTS, are software not only French Européen language, also, French Canadian speaking+ reconation languages.

I want to share my expérience, I did installed google maps/mobile, on N1, before I download SVOX TTS , and set it up to french In google apps, I was glad that the voice speaking was in french (international accent) also for trapster apps + others, but Text To Speach (Pico tts) read up with english pronunciation syllable (bringing confusions), what ever the message/ world was writhing in english or in french .
But the native pico tts or e Speaking tts do not recognize most of the command.
Almost all the (writing/reading) down-loadable application are available in French, as well I have choice of the dictionary, French Canadian or French from France.

Jipy !

Settle down everyone. Why are we talking about languages?
SVOX also has their own range that is natural speaking, I'm looking for a free one and it seems they have one will report back.

how do you change the pitch of the voice? i saw that screen once but can't find it anymore.

I already had this on my phone. So I loaded it on my KF and the demo works like it does on my phone. But I am unable to get it to be used for anything else.
Not sure if there is a hack that can be used to change the default setting to use it.

I use ivona voice for my tts and right now it's in "beta". ( been in beta for years)
the voice I use is british amy on my at&t atrix. that's something you could always try.

Heh, Victoria! She's great. The most pleasant, natural, and accurate imo. Only problem is, how do we get her in Google Translate? Is there really no way?

FAO: Chefs.. Please add more languages to the keyboard :)

Hi guys,
thank you for all your great work! I only took the courage to request this since I am not just a downloader but also a board member that is using your donation buttons from time to time. I appreciate your hard work and I think you should be awarded for that.
Having said that I wish that all android NAND builds have the ability for more keyboards including GREEK. I do not ask for a full menu translation as this is secondary - to me at least. But the ability to type in native language is mandatory for SMS, emails, or WEB browsing.
Please consider my request or provide a how-to add more languages to existing keyboards.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
F

Thanks but I'm not in search for a TTS but more a STT. In fact, in jellybean, you already have one. "google voice typing" and in the setting you have different language. I dont want to install an another application, I'd just like to find other language or more french version to ass to it like it is for english: UK, US etc.....
