SVOX US English Michael Voice (v. 3.0) Разработано SVOX Mobile Voices |
Have Michael read aloud from your ebook, navigation, translation and other apps in a US English voice.
Works great with Google Navigation on Android 2.2. Other recommended apps using voice output are Talk To Me Classic, Speech Audio Books, Good Morning, and StartTalking. Browse http://svoxmobilevoices.wordpress.com/gallery for more.
If you want to listen to the voice before buying it, download the free SVOX Classic Text-to-Speech Engine first. It contains audio demos and installs a high quality TTS engine that supports over 25 languages and 40 voices. Or listen to the voice demos at http://svoxmobilevoices.wordpress.com/demos.
Follow these steps to set up your voice:
1) Install and run this app once
2) Install free SVOX Classic Text-to-Speech Engine
3) Go to Android Settings -> Voice Input & Output -> Text-to-Speech settings, activate SvoxClassic at the bottom of the screen, then select SvoxClassic as the Default Engine.
Notes:
- Google Navigation requires that the Text-to-Speech voice matches the phone language. You can change the phone language in Android Settings -> Language & keyboard -> Select language
- If you receive error code 18 when trying to install a voice, the installation fails because of a locked file. Solutions are to mount the phone on your PC and manually remove “/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec” or an empty folder named “.android_secure”.
- On Android 2.1 and earlier, only some apps, like Google Translation, support changing voices.

[2011-06-28] USCanthony: Sounds much better than the stock Pico voice that came with my phone. For the small amount of $ spent, it is worth every penny. |
|
[2011-06-25] steve: Acapela's new voices are coming to Android very soon, which are 100x better than these voices. |
|
[2011-06-07] geckomom: Doesn't work X10. Phone keeps going to default voice. Save your money. |
|
[2011-06-06] Grace: Luv it |
|
[2011-05-26] Kim: Better than the usual robotic voice in pico. Still wish I could use Vlingo speech engine as my default. But alas it doesn't work. |
|

|
[2011-04-10] Joe: Its ok. Not great, but better than the default voice! |
|
[2011-04-03] jeffcarp: This is a pretty good voice for the US. Michelle is very realistic but can get drowned out by background noise. Michael is loud & better than built-in |
|
[2011-03-26] rod: Can't get it or darklord to work with my navigation. Searches for google nav. Voices and this is what showed up but can't get it to work. Help |
|
[2011-03-20] Eric: Don't waste your money These synthesized voices sound terrible. Especially the "Michael" voice. It is not adjustable in any way that makes a difference and the developers are non-responsive. No way to get your money back or any customer service. It's a bad deal!!! |
|
[2011-03-11] Art Vandelay: 10X better than the built-in one. |
|
[2011-03-06] Catman51: Great I could not stand the built in robotic woman and was always mocking it. This sounds so much better. Thank you for making life just a little better! |
|

[2010-12-20] Dawn Melanie: Can't get it to work on my speaking applications like "Good Morning" or Navigation. |
|
[2010-10-24] jeffcarp: This is a pretty good voice for the US. I like the female Grace voice better. But this one is much better than the built-in voice on android. |
|
[2010-10-22] Joe: It needs work, it sounds congested, hard to understand, drivesafe.ly is much better. |
|
[2010-10-18] kazam: Compared to the other tts, this and english american female version is better than the rest. the UK TTS may sound realistic, not into UK accents N1 |
|
[2010-10-18] Steven: It needs work. Sounds robotic. The UK English version is the best. Although it has a accent, its far the best natural sounding. Uninstalled. |
