I don't want to create .talk files, say for my folders and such, i want to create the .voice file that rockbox uses to speak its menus and such. Can the rockbox utility help with that? I think I'm going to give this manual way a try, i read about making .wavs from the phrases, labeling them, using a program to combine them to a .voice etc. Not sure if it'll work...

It doesn't work for creating the generic .lang file for the player though, you have to use the rockbox utility for that.

I have version 3.7 installed on my player. It does use the festival tts, but I'd like to create my own .voice file for internal speech using another tts of my choosing, that sounds preferably better and that i can also use to tag my music library on the player. I've read about the scripts and such, but according to the site it's out of date. While googling around I saw some posts here and there from not sure what list serve, but i noticed some names like James Teh (not sure on the spelling), so I'd thought I'd ask here to see if anybody has had previous experience with the process or has done some research that might advance me a few steps before i get started. O yeah, using a windows environment. THX, D!J!X!
