so file, TTS will be more than happy to speak using the replaced voice.Īs always, comments or suggestions are welcome.Now you can use the voices you love with NVDA, the free and popular screen reader from NVAccess. This just underscores the fact that if I obtain a Daniel (or any other voice). No surprise, but it was interesting that RealSpeak had no issues using Daniel's 80MB dat voice file as if it were Tom's. So the us_tom_full.dat file is connected to the vf_tom_full.so shared library. Listen to the attached sound bite to hear the results. Well, it worked, but the speech is garbled - but you can tell that it is Daniel's voice. Then I tried restoring the Tom files one by one, starting with the us_tom_full.dat, then trying the speech between each one. re-naming the Daniel voice files as if they were Tom), but I received an "unexpected error" (see the gif attachment). I moved the Samantha voice to the /mnt/us partition (the flash partition that you see when you connect your Kindle), then moved the Daniel voice files in. I wanted to try out the Daniel (UK) vf file on the Kindle, so I SCPd it to the /usr/lib/tts/speech/components/data directory, only to find that the Kindle doesn't have enough internal memory to store more than the two voices that it comes with (each voice is about 100MB).

I'll update my status if I make additional progress, but any insights would be appreciated. Unfortunately, these files are voicefont shared libraries, which, from what I can surmise, are Markov-chain implementations for phoneme weighting and selection - practically impossible to re-create without the source, and they vary per voice. I've also analyzed the Windows versions of the US Tom and UK Daniel RealSpeak voices (demos available here), and there is literally only one required file that is different (vf_tom_full.dll instead of vf_tom_full.so).
is missing some critical files required for the Kindle's RealSpeak Solo. I did manage to get my hands on the "Tom" voice for the TomTom, but sadly, the Nuance Vocalizer Mobile v5 used for GPSes and Phones, etc. Here's an update to the GPS voice progress: TomTom GPS units use the same processor as the Kindle, and have TTS capabilities. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for posting! So I did as you suggested and listed to the interview on the commute to work. If anyone has a RealSpeak ARM-based voice from another product (GPS, Windows Mobile, etc.) please post here. Here's a complete list of voices at Nuance (available to try via their interactive demo):Īmerican English (Tom, Donna, Jill, Samantha) It seems that there are many Kindle users who would like to try out different voices. Well, here's a complete list of voices from Nuance's demo site: I've also attached the interview file, so you can play it pack in Tom's "own" voice, which is kind of funny (to me at least). I'm still looking for a source for alternate voices, but if there were, would anyone use them? I would create an installer that would replace the default voice on the Kindle with a different one.Īll of this TTS investigation led me to start a write-up on TTS for the Kindle in Part 1, I interview Tom Glynn - the male voice of the Kindle (yes, I know Engadget interviewed him a year ago, but I had different questions). usr/lib/tts/speech/components/voicefont/vf_tom_full.so). The only difference is that the purchased files come with a Windows. The voice files contained within these directories are almost identical to voice files available as part of the Nuance RealSpeak demo and additional voices you can purchase here. I've recently been poking around the Kindle's filesystem and came across the following directories:
